My Project

Mental health is a major issue since students missed so much class time from the covid years. I want to help students with issues related to depression and mental health. Using these brain breaks can really help.

My students want to go out in the community and speak about ways to help with depression. Using these brain breaks are one quick way to help with this issue. While dealing with these difficult issues focus is a huge issue. Speaking about mental health is very important. Keeping their focus

These small gadgets to keep their focus would go a long way to helping them while I work with them. Graduation is a huge deal at our school and I would like to try having some fidget gadgets to help me while I counsel them and get them ready for the real world.
