My Project

My classroom is full of enthusiastic and curious young learners. However, I have noticed more and more that kids need brain breaks to help them stay focused and achieve success! This year we will "Zen to Win." This means our students need a calm and zen-like environment to achieve a wealth of mental health.

The Zen to Win project will be used to get my students to focus by playing short games and deciphering puzzles.

This project will help my students have the chance to work on puzzles and games as an outlet to deal with stress and anxiety that may come about daily with peers, or at other times throughout the day. These activities will not hinder their academics but will increase academic engagement.
