My Project

Wondering minds create a loss in focus. Help me bring fidgety minds back to learning with some fun and exciting tools that help control fidgety minds. The chair bands will assist students to relieve restless legs while the board will help them stand and create their own visual tool while the teacher is teaching. I've noticed many of my current and previous students love to draw while listening, or they jot down keynotes. When minds are focused the classroom creates a more engaging atmosphere creating increased learning, with the books, board, and calm down ball the students can be fully engaged with no interruptions and no learning loss. They will be taking control of their own learning.

With your contribution you will help third graders focus, creating increased learning with minimal interruptions.

Let's get these students to focus, in a fun way with tools that will benefit them in more than one way.
