As a first grade teacher, Jill, the second author, went in search of decorations for her classroom prior to the start of the school year. She purchased multicolored Slinky toys, which she thought would add a nice touch to the white ceiling. She spaced them evenly above the children’s desks. As the students entered the classroom she turned on the ceiling fans, which made all the Slinkys start to bounce. Some children seemed to enjoy the sensory output from the bouncing Slinkys, yet were able to stay focused on classroom tasks. Other children became distracted, more interested in the movement of the Slinkys than in what Jill was asking them to do. During recess, Jill sat at one of the children’s desks to view the classroom from their perspective.
