Screen Free Quiet Time!

Help me give my students screen free quiet time! Young kids these days have almost constant access to screen time. Give their eyes, ears, and brains a break from the constant stimulation, and let's listen to stories!

My Project

I love teaching young students! Their minds are full of wonder, curiosity, and excitement about the world around them. Screens have become an integral part of all of our lives, but these students also need a break from the screens.

Help me give my class the opportunity to rest their eyes, ears, and brains from the constant stimulation from screens.

We use the Yoto Audiobook Player for quiet time, story time, and play time opportunities.

Not only does the Yoto Audiobook stories give my students a break from the screens; it strengthens their listening skills and encourages creativity. Students can listen to the stories and build the mental images from those stories. These audiobooks are a great asset to my classroom.
