My Project
We all work better with a sense of a start and a stop. Visual timers will help me students know "how much longer?", "how much time do I have left?" and "when can I be done?". The bland answer of, "soon" is the answer is the past!
Visual timers for calm, gentle, clear and consistent reminders is how to ease the mind and the body.
Also included are sensory timers because our brains need time to relax and enjoy.
These timers will help the classroom run smoothly without any questions on time.
