My Project
I want to help my students stay focused and relaxed after some class discussions and activities. My project will help motivate my students to stay focused during discussions and activities. After being exhausted, I want them to relax a little bit by playing with some social emotional learning toys I requested. In this way my students can be recharged and can get focused for the next set of class discussions and fun lab activities again. After playing with their sensory toys students will help me clean up and the cleaning materials will help us in doing it.
Nearly all students from low‑income households
