The 5 W’s:
Who: Kate Ellison and all children who play with fidget spinners.
Where: Washington Elementary School and all schools.
When: Anytime.
What: Schools have been banning fidget toys Why: because they are doing the opposite of what the are meant to do.

Six sentence summary: If you haven’t heard of fidget spinners they are a piece of plastic with three prongs that stick out. They spin just like the name. They were made to help kids with ADHD or autism focus better in class but they became so popular that everyone wanted one. ADHD is a condition that makes it hard for them to sit still and concentrate. Students with Autism have trouble communicating with others. Teachers have been banning fidget spinners from school because students have been trading or playing with them during class learning time.

Questions I’m wondering:
Why did fidget spinners become so popular?
How do they help people concentrate?
|
Connections I’m making:
I had a fidget spinner. I think they are really fun but don’t really help me concentrate.

Picasso ART !!!
This is my first attempt of Picasso art
it was a bit of a fail and I felt I rushed it a bit too much so I decided to do another one.
This is my second attempt and I like it much better. I took my time and did the black outline quite thick which I like.
