My Project

Middle School is a stressful time. My students need breaks and fidgets for self control.

"You have absolute control over but one thing, and that is your thoughts." -Napoleaon Hill.

The items we need will help in our general education classes and while we are taking breaks. Having sensory stickers to put on our binders will help us remember to breathe. We need new plus plus blocks and fidget spinners because we can use them during class and on breaks. We caught the origami craze, so why not try diamond painting?
