My Project

The current chairs in my classroom are falling apart. We need new chairs for students to sit through long block scheduling. The fidget bands will support students focus. I've tried stress balls and fidget toys but they end up being thrown across the room so I hope these will help students learn instead of just play.

The clicker will help students present and maintain eye contact with the audience instead of hiding behind the computer.

We've moved to 7 periods so we need a larger paper organizer for all the classes that we now offer so students can turn in their work.
