My Project
My students are excited to learn and always try their best. However, stress and anxiety can make it difficult for them to do their best work.
Fidget toys can provide an outlet and will allow children to better concentrate on their work.
The toys act as stress relievers, anxiety reducers and can reduce distracting behaviors by giving the students a less intrusive outlet. The toys can help improve memory and attention spans in different activities. Lastly, the toys can help students calm down and help them regulate their emotions and allow them to do their very best work.
Nearly all students from low‑income households
Data about students' economic need comes from the National Center for Education Statistics, via our partners at MDR Education. Learn more
