My Project

Timers and pencils are desperately needed for our classroom stations. Timers help students manage their time effectively, ensuring they spend a set amount of time on each task, whether it’s studying or working on projects. This encourages a more organized approach to work.

The children are learning to work independently and need help managing their time effectively.

By setting a timer, students can create a sense of urgency, which often leads to improved concentration. Knowing there is a specific timeframe to complete a task can help minimize distractions. When students know they have a limited amount of time, they are more likely to stay on task and avoid wasting time. It creates a sense of accountability for how they are using their time.
