My Project
After the trauma of Covid, the number of students with identified anxiety has more than doubled in my classes. I have successfully used fidgets in my classes to help ease their tensions and anxiety of students. I am excited to order more fidgets to be used in all of my classes as students like a variety of types and I lack the ones I chose. My students know that I will have some in the classroom and have consistently thanked me for being understanding of their anxiety and nerves. In fact, I attribute my fidgets to why my students scored so well on the AP Test (70% passing).
My students need fidgets, games, and tools to support them in their needs.
I work hard to build community within my classroom. Speaking of building community, I am on the advisory council at my school. This year, I have 37 freshmen and am excited to have them all 4 years. That being said, I need gel pens and supplies, games, and materials on hand, to encourage that community building.
More than half of students from low‑income households
