When we started the school year, we completed a "learning style activity". Many of my 6th grade students shared that it is a challenge for them to sit in one spot and remain focused for the entire length of time. They requested varied seating options and fidget bands, which would be a positive outlet for their energy and would allow them to move but to maintain their focus on their work. Students explained that it would also promote focus if they had a classroom where they feel comfortable; where their unique needs are met. Many with Restless Leg Syndrome and diabetes rave about how the Bouncy Bands help them increase their blood circulation and even burn calories during they day. In addition, these bands help stretch their legs and release anxiety so students can spend more time focusing on their work. These options are great for physical and mental health! This student generated project will support a healthy environment and healthy students.
