My Project

I work at a disciplinary school in North Philly. The students who come to us struggle with behaviors that negatively impact their academics. In my classroom, I provide as many accommodations as possible. One accommodation I provide is fidgets. I have some in my classroom, but they are starting to wear out and break.

Help me get a brand new set of fidgets and other activities to help my students stay calm and focused in class!

My students use fidgets throughout each class. Having a new set will help give them more variety and help promote more productive learning, less stress, and happier kids!
