Celebrate Black Teachers and Students

This project is part of the Black History Month celebration because it supports a Black teacher or a school where the majority of the students are Black.

My Project

This timer is an absolute game changer for students that have ADHD. It will be set for 10 minutes for kids that have a hard time focusing and working. The timer will go off after 5 minutes to tell the child that it is almost time to get up. After 10 minutes, it will blink red and tell the kid that he/she can get up and move. So, this timer becomes an independent time manager.

This timer along with the presharpened pencils will allow the classroom to run in an efficient manner and allow the kids to be self-sufficent.

Thanks for investing in my students and being a hero to our classroom.

Mrs. Twiss
Grades 3-5
