My Project

Fidgets and flexible seating will help students in my class focus. I teach a middle school special education class. Many of my students need to fidget with something in class in order to focus. Fidgets are used in my class already but sadly we don't have enough for all of the students that want or need one. Many students like to rock back and forth in their chairs. The danger with this is that students will knock over their chairs and fall. By having fidgets and flexible seating I will be able to create a safe space were students will be able to move in class.
