Useful Tools, Not Obnoxious Toys.

Fidget spinners,
They drive teachers crazy.
But they are actually better,
For kids who are all but lazy.
Some kids are overactive,
Making teaching harder.
But fidget spinners make learning radioactive,
So the kids can get smarter.
But still teachers protest,
Against this helpful tool.
But they make it easier to do a test,
Plus they make school cool!
Their noisey, yes,
It sounds very close to rain.
But actually, as you may guess,
There’s much more to gain.
Teachers, teachers,
Gather around!
Make spinners a feature,
Everywhere to be found!
Fidget Spinner Rhyme
Hannah Tant

The quiet sound of nature.
Not a soul was heard.
No one hunted for food.
Not even a bird.
A golden fidget spinner
Spinning his issues away.
He’s quiet as a mouse
Most people would say.
The spinner is alone
Aside from a bird.
And a few sheep
Bundled in a herd.
Like a friend
That doesn’t fit in.
Like a running champion
That will never win.
No one may notice
A small little spinner.
Spinning like in competition,
But never a winner.
Batman Fidget Spinner

This Batman fidget spinner is so cool.
Especially when I play with it at school.
Spinning around.
Oh I love what I’ve found.
I wish it had more shine.
But it is fine.
Not very colorful at all.
But I like it better than a ball.
It looks old.
But instead it is bold.
It feels so light.
Kind of like a kite.
It is so fun.
My teacher has a ton.
There are so many kinds .
Some even shine.
As fun as they are.
Maybe more than a car.
All different shapes.
Maybe it should have a cape.
