My Project

My middle schoolers have chaotic lives! Between school, home and phones they are rarely in a calm state of mind. In our classroom, we use laptops a lot for reading programs, research, quizzes and even learning games. This is so much simulation! So, I make a point of using lighting, oil diffusers and soft music to create a calmer atmosphere in our classroom.

When students finish an assignment, I also encourage them to engage in an activity that is not on their electronics.

These activities are simple such as puzzles, coloring sheets, note cards for letter writing, and of course books! It is charming to watch students spend the last few minutes of class taking a break from bright lights and loud sounds.
