My Project

My students are a energetic group of second graders. They love to move, wiggle, and bounce. They do not have seats or space to fidget and move around. Students can use these fidget toys to help keep them moving and focused on their learning. While I am teaching students can be bouncing their feet on the bouncy bands, squeezing the stress balls and popping the poppers. All of the items are noise free and will not interrupt the learning environment but still give kids that "wiggle space" they need! They are going to love to be able to "fidget...fidget while they learn!"
