A lot of my students I have noticed have trouble with keeping their attention. So I am asking for bands that I can put on their chairs to help them concentrate in class and relieve some stress and anxiety. I also have a student that is constantly chewing on items. The necklace will allow him to chew on something discretely and meet his needs to constantly have something in his mouth. Students need help keeping their attention focused and allow for flexible seating in the classroom. Additionally, we have been working hard on following lab safety. We did our first lab, and the students asked why we weren't wearing goggles. They asked if we could get some goggles for our next lab.
