They don't make any noise and they don't move the desks either. The worst thing that I have heard is that students have used them as sling shots. One teacher just removed them for a day to teach her student a lesson on safety and consequence and he stopped doing it. Another teacher decided to have fun with the concept and seized the moment by measuring the dstance between shooting paper balls compared to tennis balls across the room. The bottom lne answer to your question: No, they are designed to prevent distractions instead of create them. However, I'm sure you know that anything CAN be a distraction--from a pencil to a chair! It's all about clear expectations, following through on consequences, and teaching students. -Scott Ertl :)Scott Ertl, Elementary School Counselorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15584010707891870850noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5795685213907724799.post-83591909666215791622013-10-06T22:26:31.582-07:002013-10-06T22:26:31.582-07:00this looks like a great idea - i have quite a few ...this looks like a great idea - i have quite a few 'movers and shakers' in my 2nd grade class.
