My Project

Kids today, are supersaturated with information, visual and auditory stimuli. Learning how to manage their thoughts, feelings, and body movements in appropriate ways and during particular times and spaces is an essential skill. Sometimes verbal and visual cues and reminders are not enough. Having physical tools in their hands, such as a plush or calm strips, can help ground them to focus on the task at hand.

This diverse variety of FIDGETS will help my students focus their body and mind while they are in the classroom.

Teaching kiddos how to regulate their body and emotions in an important life skill. I push into MATHEMATICS classes and need these tools to help support my students to help them focus.

Thank you in advance for your consideration of support!
