DO FIDGET TOYS INCREASE STUDENT ENGAGEMENT IN THE CLASSROOM?

Should students have their own?

I have found that after showing much success in the classroom, it was time to allow students to bring their own. I did not offer this in the beginning due to the fact that expectations needed to be altered a bit to find out how these toys can be most affective. Now, I allow students to bring their own personal fidget toys from home. There are a few conditions, they may not bring any toys that are already in the class collection to be sure that they are not mixed up. They must also check in with me before class so that I may clear it as a possible fidget toy. I thought that more students would want to bring something from home, but it turns out that I only have a few students from each class that have decided to do so.

Why do you think this happened?
Did only students that really need it brought it from home?
