Fidget Spinners.

If your first instinct is to cringe or start complaining, you are in the same boat as most teachers across the country.

With so many teachers championing more movement in the school day (Recess! Phys Ed! Unstructured Play! The kids need to move!) you’d think most would better understand why they’ve become so popular.

I wanted to make a little year end gift for my students so luckily most of my colleagues have a sense of humor and fun so I was able to to put this gem together:

I must say, walking around school with a handful of spinners in my pocket made me completely understand what the fuss is about. They’re quite satisfying. Might just get one for myself.
