My Project

Project Description:

As a teacher of 27 energetic 5th graders, I am constantly looking for ways to keep them engaged, focused, and motivated.

This year, we are looking to introduce fidget toys and classroom prizes that will help students manage their energy and stay on task, while also rewarding their hard work and positive behavior.

Many of my students struggle with staying focused during lessons and need tools to help them regulate their energy in a productive way. Fidget toys, such as squishy balls, sensory rings, and other small items, can provide them with an outlet for their energy, allowing them to focus on their work and feel more engaged.

By providing these tools, we are not just improving their focus, but we are also teaching students valuable skills in self-regulation, goal-setting, and perseverance. With your support, my 5th graders will have the opportunity to use fidget toys as a productive way to stay engaged, and they’ll be excited to work toward earning fun prizes for their hard work and positive behavior.

Thank you for helping my students stay focused, motivated, and excited to learn!
