My Project

I am looking to provide my students with flexible seating and fidget sto keep their hands busy. A lot of the times, my students need the opportunity to move around the room since they struggle sitting still. These seating options will provide them just that, the flexibility to move around comfortably. The hand putty and fidgets will allow them to keep their hands busy and minds focused on their learning. Most of my students benefit from having some kind of fidget, it helps them lock in on what they are doing in the classroom.
