My Project

Please help to replenish my fidgets for the classroom. Many of my students utilize these items to help sustain focus within the inclusion class environments.

Many of these are well loved and I let the students keep the fidgets that they feel work best for them.

We are out of new fidgets so I'd like to have a refill for them to pick from once we return from winter break. Thanks so much for considering to donate to this important project. These items are used on a daily basis and positive attention and focus are documented!
