Drops pencil on the floor, gets a tissue, gets a drink of water, sharpens pencil, twirls pencil, fall out of seat . . . everything BUT working on assigned work! Does this sound familiar? Do you have a student who gets distracted with everything under the sun, so he or she never completes schoolwork? Here's a few things to try:
Bumpy seat: textured seat provides plenty of texture and will even let your wiggler move from side to side. You can buy this at your local Wal-mart, Target, or sporting good store.
Bouncy seat: Sitting on an exercise or balance ball helps your wiggler get the wiggles out. There are different type of balls. If you have a tile floor, you may want to invest in the balls with sand in them so the balls don't roll away. You can buy this at your local Wal-mart, Target, or sporting good store. You might also check with your gym to see if they would give you their old exercise balls.
Fidgets: Give your wigglers something to do with their hands. There are many commercial made fidgets like the long, skinny erasers. I like to make homemade ones out of a balloon and flour. I use a funnel to put the flour in the balloon. Don't buy cheap balloons, of they will break quickly!
