My Students

My students are a unique bunch! Our classroom is full of diverse students with various backgrounds, religions, ethnicities, and economic statuses, as well as academic needs. Many of my students do not have the support at home that is needed for a successful education. While we try to provide everything we possibly can, the job is not easy. We strive for excellence, we praise each other and we practice honesty. Our classroom is a judge-free zone.

All children have special needs when it comes to their education.

My students are placed in an Integrated Co-Teaching (ICT) classroom. This means that 40% of the students fall under the special education umbrella and 60% are general education students. In an ICT classroom there are 2 teachers; one special education teacher and one general education teacher. My co-teacher and I are both very passionate about serving the community we work in and our students know that when they walk through the door, they will be challenged, they will be supported and most of all, they will be loved.

My Project

This project is called Everyone, Have a Seat! Many students in our classroom have sensory and attention issues. With children like this, it is common that they have a hard time sitting still for lengthy periods. In fact, most children have a hard time staying still for long. The director's chair, bean bags, wobble stools and stability balls will be used to help students focus and become more aware of their bodies. They will also be used as rewards for outstanding students during lessons and independent reading time.

These requests are meant to engage students in the learning process in a fun, exciting way.

With all the demands on young children today in schools across the country, the least we can do is try to let them have some fun the way we did when we went to school. Times have changed. Learning should not.
