The large circle time mat allows me to teach my students, while they stay in their square and are not wandering around my carpet visiting with their peers. The students are more engaged and are paying attention to their learning when I am teaching them.\r\n\r\nWhen my students are wandering around the room, when they should be completing work at their desks I am giving them the rotating seat for them to use. This allows them to complete their work at their desk, while staying focused.\r\n\r\nThe fidgets we received will be divided. Some will be able to go home as prizes. The others will be used in times when they need to stay and wait their turn. Some of my students struggle with waiting.
