Celebrate Black Teachers and Students

This project is part of the Black History Month celebration because it supports a Black teacher or a school where the majority of the students are Black.

My Project

There is a lot of enjoyment that comes from working in special education. I work in a special needs classroom with students who have intellectual impairments and require continual support throughout the day. My classroom consists of a variety of disabilities, communication abilities (verbal/non-verbal), and personalities. I want my students to enjoy learning and standing desks might be the solution to bringing some enjoyment to the classroom.

As a teacher working in an environment of special needs students, I want my students to benefit from materials that will provide flexibility in the classroom.

As we focus on functional skills to prepare them for life after high school, it can be challenging to keep students engaged. A typical day for my students includes working on fine motor skills, following directions, making it through a lesson, and completing a task. They are a great group of students who deserve every ounce of support possible to help enhance their learning environment. Standing desks will give my students flexibility so they are ready to learn.

Mrs. Minick-Gude will only receive her materials if this project is fully funded by November 18.
