The Key to Helping Kinesthetic Students Focus
Funded Dec 15, 2011Thank you very much for your generous donations in order for me to purchase the focus/stress balls. It really helps my second through eighth graders focus and actively participate in mini lessons, class discussions, read alouds, and independent work. The students enjoy using them, especially the boys. I have shared the benefits with classroom teachers who have also used them and have had successful academic results. I have nicknamed the focus balls as Superpower Concentration Energy. They like that nickname. The students are very appreciative and so am I!
