For a couple of years, the new trend has been the fidget or spinner toy. Before this toy, there was the mini skateboard. These toys are a real distracton for the sutdents and can be problematic. I know there are students who need stress relief and require things such as stress balls to alleviate this tension. Please send me a note stipulating that such a gadget is necessary for your child so that there are no misunderstandings on my part.
Toys and electronic devices can be distractions, and if a student is not focused in my class because of playing, I will ask the child to put the toy away. If it continues to be a problem, I shall take the toy away and it will be given to the child at the end of my class. It will not be allowed in the room again. I will inform you if this is the case. If this becomes a continuous problem, the toy will be given to the Vice Principal and disciplinary action may result.
