An Outlet for Energy

Help me give my students an outlet for their energy. I am asking for help with purchasing fidget toys and hands-on learning manipulatives. Pop-its and foot bands are what we are seeking for our classroom.

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Masson's classroom raised $385

Celebrate Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.

My Students

My 15 brightly smiling students are enthusiastic about learning, loving, and growing with one another. My first graders thrive on interaction with one another and love being up and moving around. Each one of their personalities is unique. I have a few quiet kiddos along with some who just love to laugh and to make others laugh. Their happiness ignites our classroom fire.

My Project

We are seeking fidget materials to increase our focus and understanding. As the year has progressed, I have noticed a handful of my students fidget with their feet, hands, and desks. They need an outlet for this energy.

My students are between the ages of 6 and 8 and, of course, have lots of energy and are looking to move around all day long.

However, the environment of school does not allow constant movement, and there are times that students need to sit still.

Having pop-its when blending and segmenting allows for kinesthetic learning. Spinners, chair bands, and monkey bands encourage student focus without distracting others and while still using their extra energy in a productive fashion. I want to provide one more way for students to stay focused and increase flexibility in my class. Each student has their own need, and I aim to help every single student that walks through my door in any way that I can.
