My Project

As I begin the new school year 2023-2024 and have to move into a brand new classroom, I must create a space that is inviting as well as safe and comfortable for learning because as a classroom community we will spend most of our days together.

As a special education teacher, my students need more specific and sometimes immediate attention to their academic, physical, social and emotional needs.

These different items being requested will allow me to create different spaces in the classroom to address those needs. We will be able to use the dry erase markers for in class formal and informal assessments where students will show their understanding. Then, the stickers, calm damn posters, fidget lamp and ligthing to create a space for taking breaks in moments of emotional regulation or relaxation for brain breaks. As a classroom management practice, we use a point system in which students are motivated to accumulate points to pick and choose different prize from the prize box. Thank you inadvance for your help.
