My Project

Our project aims to introduce fidget tools into our classroom environment to promote focus, concentration, and engagement among our students. Fidgets are small, handheld objects designed to provide sensory stimulation and help individuals channel excess energy in a constructive manner. By incorporating fidgets into our classroom, we aim to create a more inclusive learning environment where students with various learning styles and attention needs can thrive.

Introducing fidgets into our classroom environment has the potential to significantly impact student learning and well-being.

By providing students with tools to manage their sensory needs, we aim to: Increase student engagement and participation in classroom activities. Improve focus and concentration, leading to enhanced academic performance. Create a more inclusive learning environment where students with ADHD, autism, anxiety, and other sensory processing differences can thrive. Reduce disruptive behaviors by offering alternative outlets for excess energy. Empower students to take ownership of their learning and develop self-regulation skills.
