Fidget Spinners have become a popular tool designed to help scholars who may have a difficult time sitting still or focusing for an extended period of time. During my first year of teaching, I realized on days I planned stations all of my scholars, including my fidget spinners, were more engaged than on a typical day, because they were able to work in smaller groups and were not required to sit in one place for an entire class period.As a result of the success I had with stations, I will be implementing them a lot more this year. Stations not only allow scholars to get a quick wiggle break during class, but they also allow me to give scholars more individualized attention by working with a smaller number of kids, assign more personalized assignments catered to scholars learning needs, and give scholars an opportunity to teach and learn from one another. The items I am requesting will allow me to run stations effectively, because stations are timed rotations, the timer will hold myself and scholars more accountable. The mobile file cart will house the materials for each stations including, worksheets, manipulatives, calculators, protractors, and other materials. Additionally, I will have a co-teacher for scholars with specials needs, the mobile white board will be used when working with a small group, inside and outside the classroom.
