My Project

Many of my students have a hard time sitting for long periods of time. I have found that when they have something for their hands to do, it helps them be able to focus. This makes such a huge difference in their learning!

Fidgets can make a ginormous difference in my students' ability to concentrate.

My students are able to do assignments quickly, understand instructions, and follow directions the first time when fidgets are provided. I plan to use these materials during our whole class instruction time. I plan to let my students use the fidgets as needed.
