This old lunch box has a variety of different fidgets and brain flakes to help students focus, calm down, or reset. It is all inside a box that students can grab when needed and easily clean up when they are finished.<\/p>\n<p>This tool is a metal lunch box that was created into a busy box. The size of the box does not matter but an old metal lunch box is a great size because it is big enough to store many different fidgets but small enough that is easy to store. Inside the box, there is a variety of different fidgets like fidget spinners, marbles in a tube, pop-its, stress balls, etc. This tool can be used in many different ways. In my experience the tool was used whenever a student needed a fidget to help them they grabbed the box found a fidget inside and shut the box. This is an easy way to store your fidgets in an organized way.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"225\" height=\"300\" src=\"https:\/\/inside.ewu.edu\/managementtoolbox\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/204\/2023\/11\/IMG_0006-225x300.jpg\" class=\"size-medium alignright wp-image-1640\" alt=\"\" loading=\"lazy\" srcset=\"https:\/\/inside.ewu.edu\/managementtoolbox\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/204\/2023\/11\/IMG_0006-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/inside.ewu.edu\/managementtoolbox\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/204\/2023\/11\/IMG_0006-768x1024.jpg 768w, https:\/\/inside.ewu.edu\/managementtoolbox\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/204\/2023\/11\/IMG_0006-1152x1536.jpg 1152w, https:\/\/inside.ewu.edu\/managementtoolbox\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/204\/2023\/11\/IMG_0006-1536x2048.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/inside.ewu.edu\/managementtoolbox\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/204\/2023\/11\/IMG_0006-scaled.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 225px) 100vw, 225px\" \/>I chose this tool to be placed in the supportive phase because this is something that occurs when students are learning. Fidgets are used to support students in learning and to help them be successful. It can relate to the corrective phase because this box may help students correct their behavior but should not be used in the corrective phase without discussion. This tool fits best with the student-directed theory of influence because students are the ones who are responsible for deciding if they need the box, how long they need it, and for cleaning up the materials after. The teacher may create a procedure with the students that students are expected to follow but they are the sole decision-makers to decide what they need to succeed.<\/p>\n<p>More Information &#8211;<br \/>\nTool Source: Mentor teacher<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This tool is used to support students during learning.
