Fidget Spinners…YAY?  Or NAY?

As a part of our morning message, I asked kids to write about fidget spinners and if they think they should be allowed in our room.  It was very interesting to hear their opinions and I was surprised by how many kids said NAY!  They are working on providing EVIDENCE when they write something and they were all able to give evidence for their beliefs.  As someone who fidgets I appreciate anything that will help keep me focused.  However, so far, fidget spinners seem to be more of a distraction than a way to help kids concentrate.  We will continue to use them in our room with the rules we have created as a class.
