My Project

Fidget toys will be used as fun rewards in my classroom. Students can earn these toys by finishing their assignments, joining in discussions, or showing good behavior. By offering fidget toys, I can give students something they enjoy and that encourages them to stay engaged. These little rewards will provide quick positive feedback, helping students see the connection between their hard work and enjoyable results.

Fidget toys are particularly appealing to students with different learning styles and needs.

For those who thrive on sensory experiences, these toys can motivate them to tackle challenging subjects. To make the rewards even better, I will let students choose their favorite fidget toys, making the reward feel more personal and valuable. I might also set up a system where students can earn special or rare fidget toys for bigger achievements, keeping them motivated over time. These small toys will become meaningful symbols of success, encouraging students to keep trying and behave well.
