My Project

Movement is key to learning. Everyday I look around my class and I see legs bouncing, toe tapping, pencil spinning and other movements students are doing to focus.

I myself use tools like the ones in this project.

Crazy Arron's putty is my hands while I am thinking about what to write for this. Small stress balls, one handed fidget toys, and moving around my house are helping my through late night grad classes.

I want to be able to give these tools to my students in my classroom. And of course a way to organize it all!
