Brain Based Learning Enhancements

Help me give my students small items to enhance World History lessons. They learn by what they remember getting such as lollipops, plastic mice, and other items. Safety is an important feature, thus needing the window locks.

My Project

Learning comes in many different forms. Student love getting treats for jobs done well. They remember history from the things, treats, I give them. Mice for the Middle Ages, candy for good work, Chinese New Year envelopes with treats in them. These all provide realistic learning.

Students come in to class hungry or tired.

The Cheese snacks and a lounger will assist in making them comfortable. Take care of the student needs will ensure their learning. World History is challenging and sometimes needs a little push to get students to learn.
