Enhance Student Learning

Help me give my students something to help them focus while still learning!

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Merkley's classroom raised $752

My Students

We are fortunate enough to be learning in school throughout COVID, but the emphasis on education is slipping from the student's perspective though. My students need simple things to help them concentrate in the classroom and to help them be more engaged.

My Project

Students need help concentrating in class. These bands will help students sit forward at their desks, which minimizes talking to people behind them. These will also let students who need kinesthetic learning. Essentially, they can wiggle while they work. This is beneficial to students who have ADHD too. Through this simple band being added to their desks, my students can pay attention better and their learning will go deaper. This will also help with classroom management, which has been compromised with students having home learning due to COVID-19. Thanks for helping me!
