The reward stickers are a wonderful way to celebrate students' efforts and achievements, motivating them to keep trying their best. The blue light blocking glasses help protect students' eyes during computer time, allowing them to work comfortably for longer periods. Since receiving the blue light blocking glasses, my students have become more excited to work on their computers.\r\n\r\nA memorable moment was when a student who often struggles with attention used a fidget toy during a reading activity and was able to stay focused much longer than usual.
