My Project

The materials and supplies that I am requesting for my 5th-grade students who need something to do with their hands while learning. In other words, I sit and learn to keep my hands busy and not distract other students. The fidgets will be available to all students who need extra support during the school day not being distracted by other things. Using the poppets and other fidgets the students can better focus and ultimately succeed. Many students even if they don't have special needs just need to have a way to distract themselves enough to focus better. All students can learn but everyone does so in different ways.
