My Project

Students visit their homeroom classroom every day for 34 minutes. During this time we have social emotional learning lessons, study hall, study skills, and other team-building activities.

Junior high students need opportunities for a brain break without the use of technology in their day!

Our junior high students went 1:1 this year with Chromebooks. While this has enhanced learning and classwork immensely, the students tend to turn to online games as a source of a brain break in homeroom.

I'd like to create those team-building and social opportunities for these students without their devices. This can allow them time to charge their laptops, as well as laugh and engage with others for a short time during their long school day.
