Calming Striving Readers

Help me give my students fidgets to help focus their learning because middle school struggling readers often need fidgets to help them focus.

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Jacobsen's classroom raised $186

My Project

Many of my striving readers struggle with anxiety. Reading in front of a group can cause anxiety even for the most fluent readers. Being a struggling reader can cause additional stress.

Fidgets help calm my striving readers when they are required to read in front of a small group.

They are able to focus some of their energy on something else. Students in my classes have been asking for more choices in fidgets. They provided this list of desired items that would help them focus.

My students and I appreciate any donation!
