Weighted Brain Break

Help me give my students structured movement breaks to increase their focus and engagement during instructional and academic tasks. My students have a variety of sensory needs. They are energetic and love to move around the classroom.

My Project

My students are very energetic and love to move around the classroom. They require frequent breaks from instruction so they can focus, and demonstrate their true abilities. They require a variety of sensory activities to help them regulate their minds and bodies.

By providing my students with these weighted balls they will have the opportunity to release their energy in a positive and productive way that will then increase their focus during academic instruction.

As much as they love to move around they also require structured activities to help regulate their sensory input.
