Fidget/Stress Toys
Please note:
I am a HUGE fan and proponent of students having access to stress relievers in my classroom. I, to this point, have no issues with students bringing stress balls (as long as they are not thrown or bounced off the ground), other squishies/stress toys, and fidget cubes. There are others that may be allowed depending on situations. However, the following items are banned from my classroom, barring special permission given to individual students by the administration or the intervention room: slime and all of its relatives (EVEN if another staff member gave it to your child); fidget spinners; popping fidget toys (too much noise); and any fidget toy that makes noise, that a student cannot manipulate using only one hand, or that are distracting to the classroom environment. If I am unfamiliar with your student's stress toy, I may ask to see it and will usually give a chance for him to use it if I am comfortable with it being in the classroom. If I decide against a certain stress toy, I will remind them of the ones I know I'm fine with and that they can use them instead. If a student brings a "banned" stress toy, he will be given the opportunity to place it in their bag. If I see it again that day, I will confiscate the item; normal confiscation rules will apply: the student will then be able to reclaim the item at the end of class or at the end of the day.
