Pedals and Rubiks Cubes

Help me give my students some ways to work out their energy with pedal bikes and Rubik's Cubes!

My Project

When my students come to the library, they are ready for a break from their classroom and just need to move. These pedal bikes will help occupy some of my busier students when I'm doing a read aloud, or teaching them a quick lesson.

I currently have about 5 Rubiks Cubes on my Makerspace cart and they are definitely a favorite item amongst my students.

There are often arguments over who gets one during our choice time. Adding more will give more students a chance to work on solving these fun puzzles!
