Mrs. Miller from Champaign IL is requesting supplies through DonorsChoose, the most trusted classroom funding site for teachers.

Bouncy Bands for Focus

My students need to find acceptable ways to harvest their energy. These Bouncy Bands will allow safe and non-distracting fidgeting opportunities as well as help my students overcome anxiety and difficulty focusing.

My Students

The students in my classroom are mostly freshmen or students who are repeating their freshman year. These young people need support, encouragement, and dedication to encourage them toward success and positive work ethics.

My students come to this classroom to learn not just math, but organization and social skills that will assist them in being active learners, brainstormers, and community contributors.

Growth in logic, learning, and collaborating guide our instruction and interactions with my students. I look forward to seeing them succeed!

My Project

My students have a variety of educational challenges, from lack of social tools to a lack of an academic foundation. I hope to provide tools to them that will assist them socially AND academically. By allowing students safe ways to fidget without distracting their peers, I know their academic success will follow.

The bouncy bands I am requesting will allow my students access to tools assisting them in handling anxiety, distraction, and energy in the classroom.

Other teachers in the building have found these bouncy bands to be beneficial in these areas, and I hope to continue the trend!

Bouncy Bands will allow students...

...to release tension and energy.

...to multi-task and minimize hyperactivity.

...to focus on the tasks presented in class.
