Focused And On Task Classroom Achievements

Help me give my students the opportunity to quietly listen to readings and instructions for doing classwork by contributing to headphones with microphones, sensory fidget toys to enable students to focus and stay on task. Thanks so much.

My Project

What a beautiful sight to see all students on task in a quiet room because they are able to focus on the task at hand, rather than being distracted by other students movements or the sounds coming from computers; all because students do not have headphones or other things to help them in completing classwork.

Students should focus to unpack and combine information in order to attain mastery of tasks.

Gifts enable us to put in place structures that will enable the maximization of learning in the classroom.

Our rounded students need other activities such as games, rewards and stimulations to achieve our goal.

Once again, many thanks for all that you do.
