Our school is implementing a no cell phone policy - which is great! However, our students are looking for ways to fill their free time once they are finished with their school work. Providing books, puzzles, and games for students to choose from allows them to stimulate their minds in ways besides defaulting to technology. These can be relaxing, educational, mind-stretching, and fun. Some of these options also allow them to build connections with other students while they do them together.
Providing these books, puzzles, and games allow students to choose options of fun and connection without feeling dependent on technology or reaching for a phone to their fill spare time.
Utilizing these tools will also help their concentration and focus in the classroom. They are capable of this - they just need opportunities to practice!
More than half of students from low‑income households
Data about students' economic need comes from the National Center for Education Statistics, via our partners at MDR Education. Learn more
