My Project

Please help give my students tools to support their executive functioning skills. My students struggle with memory, time management, organization, and focus. These tools will support those skills to help them learn and grow. Items such as a clock and timer will keep my students focused on sustained learning time. It will also give them autonomy to time their own breaks, which are also crucially important for learning.

Teaching kids executive function skills will not only help them in school, it will help them succeed throughout their lifetime.

Teaching tools and strategies to support their executive function will help my students plan, stay focused, and be organized. Timers, clocks, and labels will help my students keep track of time and all their belongings.

Ms. Sasaoka-Tam
Grades 3-5
