The lights create a dynamic environment, with calming colors for reading time and energizing tones for group activities, fostering focus and creativity. Markers encourage hands-on learning, allowing students to express their ideas visually and collaborate more effectively. Fun prizes motivate students to participate, try their best, and celebrate their progress, boosting confidence and enthusiasm.\r\n\r\nThe most exciting aspect for students has been the ability to interact with the lessons in new ways. For example, the speaker has been particularly beneficial for students with auditory processing challenges, while the markers have sparked creativity in students who thrive through visual expression.
