My Project

My third graders come to school eager and ready to learn. Making sure they have adequate breaks helps to keep them engaged. Allowing them time to play with fidget spinners and Play-Doh will give them time for a brain break. In addition, it gives them a chance to show their creativity and learn how to share.

I learn so much about them when I watch them play during these quick brain breaks.

Children need time to cool down and have fun during the day. This helps them to focus and enjoy coming to school.
