I am currently an Elementary School Counselor who works with 50 amazing Special Education Students. My students are energetic, motivated and ready to learn whether it be remotely or in the school setting.
The uncertain times of this Covid 19 pandemic have caused stress, frustration and anxiety for all, especially my students.
Fidget toys will help each student feel less anxious and have a little more control during this very confusing and difficult time.
My Project
The fidget toys that I am requesting can be used by my students whether they are learning from home or in the school setting. Students can sometimes feel uncomfortable when talking about stressful situations during Counseling sessions. Having a fidget toy in their hand will help them feel like they are in better control. These fidget toys can also be used by a student when they are in class to help maintain better focus. A fidget toy can also help students learn how to use coping skills to better help them throughout the school day.
More than a third of students from low‑income households
