My kids are great.
My classroom is a self-contained classroom with students of various disabilities. One constant, though, is that they have an excess of energy. This can distract them from their work, and can be inappropriately funneled towards other people and things, which disrupts their learning in the classroom. I am looking to obtain items that will help them express their extra energy in positive ways, and in ways that will not distract them from their work, and will prevent them from agitating others. From research that I have done, the items I am requesting may actually increase their concentration!
