My Project

This is a really cool recent goal of mine. I was able to bring in some homemade fidgets and students responded magnificently. Any and all students really benefit from this particular tool and we have really moved beyond "banning" these particular objects. All students benefit from the presence of the fidgets in our classroom. I myself even find myself grabbing a popper every now and then. We have a saying in our classroom that busy hands free the mind and we very much believe this to be true when it comes to our fidgets.
