My Project

Recreational materials support active minds. In dealing with their day-to-day activities, students finish their work ahead of time. In order to give them time to relax and refresh from the lesson, playing a musical instrument like the piano may calm their minds and allow them to recalibrate things. This musical activity has been linked to stimulating various brain functions and improving memory, attention, and problem-solving skills. A chess board and some educational tools to keep them busy after learning inside the classroom will definitely boost their energy for the next subject. Learning is fun when our minds are relaxed and calm.
