Noisli
Most classrooms have time dedicated in the hour for independent student work. While some teachers allow their students to listen to their own music, you might consider using Noisli as a class next time.
Noisli is a free website that is much like the sound machine I use with my five-month-old. It's goal is to "improve focus and boost productivity."
Noisli takes different sounds from nature (wind, rain, etc) and plays them directly from the site. You can sign up with your Google account in order to save certain combinations of sounds that you like, or you can simply play from the homepage.
If you do create an account, add the Noisli extension to Chrome. Then, when you or your students are working silently, you can select one of your saved combinations of sounds to play while you work. There is a timer that can be set and you can also tell the sounds to fade in and out if you need to share something with your students. I'm listening to a combination of wind and rain as I type this blog post.
Consider using Noisli during SQUIRE time, tests, quizzes, or when students are working independently.
