My Project

Fidgets in the classroom allow students to self-regulate while still being in the classroom and learning. The fidgets that I have picked are ones that are quiet and non-distractible, yet comforting to the students. Along with the fidgets, students will have access to flexible seating while in the class.

When students have choice in the classroom, they are able to be more in control of themselves.

They will also have access to math manipulatives and games to help give all students at any level the ability to achieve in class.
