Fidgets and Drawing!

Help me give my students some things to help keep them busy and calm!

Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

Celebrate Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.

My Project

The fidget toys will help with our calming corner to keep students' minds focused on something to help them settle down when they are having a tough time. The protectors, chart paper, and composition books will be used to decompress after lunch recess during our quiet time.

My goal is to keep the students occupied in a safe way.

These will be useful in helping to keep their minds and bodies calm. After recess, we need some time to decompress, and a lot of my students like to draw. Instead of wasting printer paper, I would like to keep their drawings in a contained space.
