My students have different sensory needs, and having fidgets available gives them an additional way to keep their hands busy while listening to stories, working on activities, or participating in circle time. These tools can also be incorporated into our classroom routines to support focus, self-regulation, and transitions between activities. My students were excited to explore the new fidgets! They enjoyed touching, squeezing, and discovering the different textures and movements.","fullyFundedDate":1789669722713,"projectUrl":"project/fidget-tools-that-can-support-them-throu/10460332/","projectTitle":"Fidget Tools That Can Support Them Throughout Their School Day!","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Carter","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-1_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/estellacarter"},{"teacherId":10342661,"projectId":10461427,"letterContent":"My students are enjoying their new soccer books, soccer goal, and goalpost!
