My Project

The resonating tubes will help our 5th grade students regulate and refocus. Brain science tells us that they have to first regulate and then relate before they are finally able to reason. As teachers, we need tools to guide them through these zones so they can all access the frontal lobe, or the part of their brain for reasoning.

More and more kids arrive at school disregulated and in need of a tool to help them be able to learn and function in the classroom.

The resonating tubes are a great tool to help students access all learning.
