Because of your generosity, my eighth graders had a selection of fidgets to choose from each day—and they loved it. Selecting their fidget became a little moment of joy for them as they walked into my class. I've also noticed a real improvement in their focus and ability to stay on task. It might seem like a small thing, but it's had a big impact. Thank you for believing in my students and helping create a more engaging learning environment.
