My Project

I have chosen fidget strips that can me glued to my students' desks to allow them an anxiety outlet at anytime without disturbing others!

All children get anxious and stressed!

Students regardless of their emotional health or diagnosis of emotional disorders become stressed during the school day whether it be due to concern over academics, general anxiety or even a rough start at home in the moring. Fidget items are an excellent way for children to vent these anxities through fidgeting but they can often be a distractions to others learning; however these plastic strips can be silent and place off to the side so as not to disturb a lesson. A student can work on a lesson while fidgeting!
