My Students

I service students from the ages of 10 to 14 years old, whose needs are severe and chronic and require constant, intensive supervision, a significant degree of individualized attention, intervention and behavior management. They all have an Individual Education Plan (IEP) classification of Emotional Disturbance (ED) and are in a classroom setting of a 12:1:1 and/or 8:1:1

Although, faced with many behavioral, academic and social-emotional challenges, my students strive to learn and cope within their small classrooms.

At the start of 6th grade they begin to make academic and behavioral goals to achieve placement in a Community High School or Mainstream Setting. They work hard to regulate their emotions and learn skills that they can utilize both in school and in their communities.

My Project

On a daily basis my students struggle to remain in their classroom when they are experiencing a moment of frustration- taking away from their instructional time in class. Due to their disabilities, behavioral, academic and social-emotional challenges, my student resort to running away from their frustrations and storming out their classroom. On multiple occasions they would say "Ms. Rosario, I just need 5 to 10 minutes to myself". I have to tell them "Just put your head down on your desk."

Let's face it- have you tried putting your head down on a desk?

It's SUPER uncomfortable! And if you are frustrated or upset, you would not want someone saying "Just put your head down on your desk". This is why my students and I have come up with the idea of "Chill Corners"! A HUGE bean bag awaits, inspirational/calming posters surround you and a tablet is provided to help you reflect on your behaviors/actions. The tablets will be used as a modern day journal. Where the students can write their frustrations away and reset themselves to have a successful rest of their day!
