Sensory tools and art supplies allow students to engage in and settle their anxieties and distractions while learning creatively. During instruction time they choose a sensory tool to release built-up energy that works for them. Currently, my students are choosing from a very limited collection to release this added energy due to the high need. Many students have to wait for availability. I have noticed more engagement and fewer distractions in my students when they are given appropriate tools to learn. They almost always make good choices about when they are able to release pent-up energy in a healthy way, are more engaged with classroom lessons, and get more work done.
