Fidget spinners are the biggest craze in everywhere, not just in schools. Teachers must have had more than enough of them with children they teach having them, their own children having them and even themselves being convinced into having one. They are now the one thing that teachers must hate more than students disrupting the class, Untucked shirts and those messy assignment sheets. Some students are only using fidget spinners as toys and are not listening to the teachers and not doing their because their attention is so greatly placed on the spinner spinning for up to 4 minutes. For other student’s the spinner are a great benefit because they are still listening to teachers and doing their work but the one thing that teachers still don’t like is the noise, which is an irritation buzzing sound.

Fidget spinners have spun up some questions about whether it should be banned or not banned in schools because of how students use them.

She looked at me surprised, and I smiled. My teacher let me use a fidget spinner after I wouldn´t stop tapping my fingers on the table while I was doing my work. I ended up being done in five minutes before everyone else and the teacher said all my answers were right. ¨Good job, You did really well. I'm surprised,¨ She said and smiled.

Fidget spinners are causing a distraction in classrooms. Instead of focusing on the class, the students are focusing on the spinning. Not only does it distract the student with the fidget spinner, but other students in the classroom become mesmerized by the spinning motion. Children have attached classroom items to the spinners, such as pencils and pens. More attention is drawn to the fidget spinners and the danger increases.

According to healthline.com, fidget spinners help improve the mental state and studying of many people.

My central idea is that fidget toys are all over world, helping serious causes but also a distraction. Evidence #1 supports my central idea because it’s telling us about this disorder called ADHD which stands for attention deficit hyperactivity disorder. This disorder makes it hard for students to concentrate or sit still. But with the help of the fidget spinner it helps them concentrate on the fidget spinning and spinning. This is means that with the help of the fidget spinner they would be able to concentrate and be able to sit still. This is important because that fidget spinner will help the people as a therapy tool.

“So the way you guys can solve this problem is… SSSSSSHHHHHH… Ok Bobby can you repeat to the class how we solve this problem?” “What?, I didn’t hear you over Sam’s fidget spinner...” This is one of the situations that could occur if we allow these unnecessary toys in school. Recently, the trend of fidget spinners has hit our society like a truck. However, they have became a debatable topic in schools. Some students think that fidget spinners are necessary for focusing in school, while other adults and teachers think that fidget spinners are a major distraction in class. Fidget spinners should not be allowed at school because of the negative impacts on the students who are supposed to be learning.

One reason I believe fidget spinners should be banned, is because they can be distracting to the student. Principal Schwartz says, “...fidget spinners help with concentration. The people selling spinners may make this claim, but there is no concrete evidence that the claim is true. In fact, many psychologists have expressed suspicion about this alleged benefit.” The student spinning the fidget spinner isn’t even concentrated on the lesson ahead. They are only worried about spinning their fidget spinner then learning the lesson ahead. Teachers are just wasting their breath, because the student wouldn’t even know the first thing they learned.

If there is an uneven number, one person on the larger team will have to go twice. First, have the teams line up and hand a bean bag to the first person in line. Have them place the bean bag on their head and wait behind the start line. One at a time, each child will need to weave through the chairs, while balancing the bean bag on their head, around the last one, and come back to the start and pass the bean bag to the next person who will do the same thing. If they drop the bean bag, they must pick it up and then place it back on their head before continuing. The team who gets everyone to go

Teaching – Today during my 8th-grade classes the students worked on a K’nex’s laboratory activity. For this activity the students had to build a 3-D model of DNA. During the lab they used color coded K’nex and built the double stranded helix of DNA. The students then had to simulate the breaking apart of the double stranded helix and simulated the replication of the DNA strands into two double stranded helixes.

The material that was needed for this research is quite straightforward. There was one single text for every student and a set of questions on the board related to the text.
