My Project

I'm helping students stay focused in the classroom especially when a student's mind starts to wander. With these books, I can help students learn how to stay calm and focused in the classroom. This will help the students stay focused on learning the STEAM activities in the classroom along with other subjects they are learning in the classroom.

STEAM is important in our school, and some students have an especially hard time keeping their focus while in these classes.

Having these calming books will give them the tools needed to stay calm in the classroom while learning about STEAM.
