My Project
Fidgets and snacks can help students learn by supporting focus, self-regulation, and overall well-being.
Fidgets provide a controlled outlet for movement, which can help students who struggle with staying still, especially those with ADHD or sensory processing differences.
Engaging the hands with small movements, like squeezing a stress ball or using a fidget spinner, can help students maintain attention without becoming disruptive. Fidgets also reduce anxiety and provide sensory input that allows students to concentrate better on their tasks.
Snacks, on the other hand, support learning by maintaining energy levels and stabilizing blood sugar. When students are hungry, they may become distracted, irritable, or sluggish, making it harder to focus and retain information. Healthy snacks, such as fruits, nuts, or whole grains, provide essential nutrients that fuel the brain, improving memory, concentration, and overall cognitive function.
When used appropriately, fidgets and snacks can be valuable tools in the classroom, helping students stay engaged, manage their energy, and create a more effective learning environment.
