My students are in a special classroom for emotional disturbance because they have a hard time dealing with their emotions. These tools provide them safe ways to release their energy when escalated and help them calm down during emotional situations. Other tools such as the fidget toys will allow them to fiddle with something, release energy while they are working, and help prevent them from escalating to the point of outbursts.
My students currently don't have any of these resources and end up breaking their pencils when they are frustrated. Having these items would give them a more productive way to engage their hands when they get upset.
