Hi there. I teach in a very diverse school district in the Pocono Mountains, PA. I am slated to teach both Math and Science to regular education students this year. I have taught the inclusion class for several years, co-teaching with a fantastic special education teacher. We have students from all over the world sitting in the seats of my classroom. Currently, my classroom is comprised of mismatched desks and chairs. I cannot put them together to make a table because they are all different shapes and sizes. Our chairs are so old that the legs often give while a child is sitting in the chair. The walls are a cinder block walls painted a creamy white with a stripe above the door. There is plenty of windows allowing a ton of extra light in.
