DO FIDGET TOYS INCREASE STUDENT ENGAGEMENT IN THE CLASSROOM?

Student Quote of the week

10/26/2014

2 Comments

 
As I sat in a parent meeting for a new student, I heard this.
"Mom, this school even has fidget toys for us to play with in class so I can focus and not get in trouble."

As much as I hate hearing a student comment about getting in trouble at a previous school, I love that he is happy with where he is now.

I love this! How awesome that this student doesn't feel like there's something wrong with him. What a gift you've given him!

Your 20% has me wondering on how this can support my student. The only think is that all my first graders will want to use them. How did you teach your student about these toys?
