Fidget Items to Help Them Focus!

Help me give my students pre-sharpened pencils and sensory items to keep them focused!

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Armstrong's classroom raised $297

My Project

At this point in the year, we are low on pencils and since it is now the flu season, tissues of are low supply.

Fidget toys are needed to help my kiddos focus and stay on task.

They are getting antsy from this cold weather, so I am trying to find ways to help them control their bodies and cope.

There are bands for their feet, items for on their desks, and squishes for them to squeeze. I have great hopes that these items will help them focus and to be successful in the classroom.
