My students will be learning about America's history, creating science projects, and writing using text analysis and citations. These are not easy tasks, and I need my students' full attention. These supplies will allow the students to have an outlet for their energy so their minds can stay focused on the task at hand. I plan on having one movement device at each student's desk and rotating each day. The students will be exposed to all the different methods of movement I am asking for. In any profession, writing is a very important skill, and my students will be strong writers!
