Sometimes school can be noisy, making it hard to concentrate. When others are talking, playing, or laughing, you might feel distracted. It's important to learn how to focus on your tasks even with classroom noise around you.

How it works

Imagine you are sitting in a quiet bubble where it's just you and your work. Or picture a drawer in your mind. When it gets too loud, put all the noises in that drawer and close it.
If you feel distracted, take a deep breath. Count to three as you inhale, hold your breath for a moment, and then exhale slowly.
Sometimes it helps to stand up for a moment, stretch, and then get back to work.
Think about what you want to achieve, like getting a good grade or finishing a task. With these tricks, you can learn to concentrate better, even when it gets noisy around you.
