Students can learn more effectively if they have a way to get out their "fidgets" and do so without getting into trouble! These Bouncy Bands allow the student to sit at their desk and keep those feet moving, allowing them the avenue they so need for stress relief and without distracting the whole class. We all know children need to move! Our gym class time in middle school is not enough for these active and creative students! This will eliminate continual distractions of students wanting to get up and move around the room. In addition, the students will hear less corrections for their disruptive behavior and more positive reinforcements about how well they are doing their work. The students are capable of sustained focus work with these adaptations.
