Fidget and Sensory Tools

I bought two of my boys a Fidget Cube to test it out before the start of school.


Success!  They both love the Fidget Cube and now I have had to buy my husband one too!

So heading into a new classroom and a new year, many teachers are starting to think about their classroom environment.   My thoughts for preparing a classroom would be to consider Universal Design for Learning.  How does this space meet the needs of all my learners?  Am I giving multiple options within the classroom environment to allow learners to choose the best way for them to learn?  Consider how your classroom environment serves your learners with sensory input and output.  Are there quiet and noisy spaces?  Does the furniture provide sensory input to ground learners and help them concentrate?  What tools could support learning for all?
