Let's Take a Break

Help me give my students the independence to take a break without distractions.

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Hall's classroom raised $174

This project is fully funded

My Project

Sometimes students need options to take a break. Let's take a break gives students the option to be independent.

Quiet breaks for the win!

All of these resources offer students the opportunity to take a break. The bins will help keep break supplies organized. If a student needs a break, they can grab a bin. The bin will include all the resources needed to take a break. The items in the bin offer students quiet activities to help take a moment to calm down. The best part is the TIMER! This helps students be independent. They can set their own timer and use the quiet tools from the bin. When the timer goes off they can clean it all up. This will help them reset and be ready for learning. This organization system will allow for less teacher support during a quiet break.
