Bilingual, Special Education Class

Funded Aug 26, 2023

Class 504 is very grateful for all of the beautiful donations that were made to our classroom. Each donation has been utilized to the fullest extent possible. As a result of the fidget bands, my students have concentrated more on the lesson and complete tasks more efficiently. My students can enjoy movement while working. Bean bags are our most popular classroom item. Providing students with flexible seating has given them the freedom to make their own choices. It is often used as an incentive in the classroom, independent reading and group work. In my role as a special education teacher, I am required to provide a variety of resources when teaching a new concept, not only for classroom use, but also for home use. As a result of our color printer, we have been able to create anchor charts, as well as other materials and vibrant colors that help our students follow along with what they are not learning in class. As each language is matched to a specific color, students have found it easier to transition from English to Spanish. Blue for English.+ This makes for easier transitions between the different languages, and makes it easier for the students to remember.and red for Spanish. Parents have expressed their gratitude to me for providing color-coded resources in both languag”

With gratitude,
