Public opinion is divided on fidgets in the classroom; but it makes my kids happy and they follow the ‘rules’ associated with their use in my classroom; ultimately –don’t throw them, don’t hit other kids with them, no fighting over them and put them away when finished.
Fidgets aren’t cheap; however, if you wait for sales, conventions or buy multi-packs, its not so bad. Also, lets face it, we are teachers we will spend whatever if it helps our kids. And, we’re well aware of and used to funding our classrooms with our own money.
Here are my kids’ favourite fidgets…
