My Project
My middle schoolers are hardworking, determined, and eager to learn. They bring energy and curiosity to the classroom every day, and I want to give them the tools to succeed. Many of my students benefit from movement and sensory input to stay engaged, especially during silent reading and lesson time.
Fidgets are an incredible tool for focus and self-regulation.
While I currently have a few, they aren’t enough for all my students who need them. With this project, I hope to provide a variety of quiet, engaging fidgets that will help my students stay on task while reading, listening, and learning. From simple stress balls to silent fidget tools, these items will make a big difference in our classroom.
Having access to fidgets will allow my students to better manage their focus, reduce anxiety, and enhance their engagement without disrupting others. These small tools can make a big impact, and I want to ensure every student has what they need to succeed.
Thank you for supporting my classroom and helping my students stay focused and engaged in their learning!
