My Project

My project will help my students become more motivated to participate in class activities. The wiggle stools will help them focus and be more attentive, the fidget toys will be given to students as incentives as well as my students who are anxious. Lastly the wipes will be used to clean any desks or any areas in my class that may collect dust. Using the wipes will also prevent my students from getting sick. These materials will help my students because they are going to want the opportunity to use the wiggle chair in our class as well as gain the chance to use the fidget toys. They also love to help me clean.
