My Project

Special education students often get frustrated sitting in one seat for 45 minutes. The use of wobble seats and fidget bands help keep them on task and focused in the classroom. The use of fidget toys also aid in keeping students focused and comfortable.

My students have different abilities and will benefit from these aids in the classroom.

These products that I have selected will give my students the ability to choose what will make them comfortable in their learning which in turn will allow them to thrive in the classroom.
