Theraputty for 5th Graders

My Project

In our classroom we use Theraputty as a focus tool that helps students stay engaged and emotionally regulated all day long.

Our goal is to make sure that anyone who needs a fidget has access to one, and that the fidgets will not break or causes excessive noise.

Theraputty always does the trick!

My students are very engaged learners who have a lot going on outside of school. When they have access to fidgets or focus tools, we can ensure that kids have an easier time engaging with the materials and regulating any emotions that are carried with them through the door.
