Help me give my students classroom fidgets to reduce anxiety and improve focus.

Celebrate Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.

My Project

I love that my students are creative, passionate, and full of potential. They come from diverse backgrounds and bring a wide range of learning styles, strengths, and needs to the classroom. I’ve noticed that when they feel calm and comfortable, they are more focused, engaged, and ready to learn.

This project aims to support students’ emotional regulation and focus by providing them with classroom-friendly fidgets.

As I work to enforce a no-cell-phone policy, I want to be mindful of the anxiety or restlessness that can come with that change. Fidgets provide students with a way to channel nervous energy, stay focused, and remain attentive during class discussions and assignments.

Whether a student has ADHD, anxiety, or needs a small outlet to stay focused, these tools can make a big difference. By providing a variety of fidgets, I can help all students—regardless of their learning style—feel more supported and successful in our classroom.
