Fidgets to Help Us Focus!

Help me give my students fidgets to help them focus! My kids have been biting pencils and ripping erasers. These items will give them something appropriate to fight with.

My Project

I have a wonderful group of students this year, however, keeping their attention and focus has been challenging.

They need fidgets in their hands to help them focus on lessons.

When they are able to move a little, they do much better. However, biting on pencils and ripping up erasers is not helpful. Real items they can move around and not make

noise with is what they need.

Please help my students get their focus on. They are all great kids who need a little more focus this year in school.
