Mrs. Dorrell at Cabrillo Middle School needed classroom resources, and thanks to our generous donors, were able to help her out. Here's what she wrote:
"Dear Santa Clara Schools Foundation,
Thank you so much for help buying fidget toys. These are great for students who struggle to sit still for longer periods of time. However, it can also help students in any situation. You have a student who asks to go to the restroom frequently. As a result, they struggle to complete their work. Fidget toys are great for students who are under the ADD/ADHD and autism umbrella. These toys are a great way to help them think without getting up too frequently, biting nails, etc.
From what I've observed in my own classroom, all of my students benefit from fidget toys. After I introduced them into my classroom, I had less students wandering around the classroom. Students get their work done in a timely manner. I had less students leave to go to the restroom. And these little toys even encouraged my students to want to do the work!
With gratitude,
Mrs. Dorrell"
