My Project

We are all back to in-person learning after a far too long stint with virtual learning. Helping my young learners stay focused has been a challenge all year. With the addition of balance stools and balls, the students in my classroom will be better able to get their fidgets out and focus on the learning that they need to accomplish.

In all my years of teaching, this year has been the most challenging for students that have focusing differences.

Having been in virtual learning for so long has hindered their ability to stay focused on their learning and adapt to the classroom environment. It is my hope to provide them with a quick and effective way to manage their focus and allow for deeper more focused learning.
