My Students

I have a diverse group of eager to learn fourth-grade students in an integrated class. I teach students with disabilities alongside general education students. Most of my students require accommodations to achieve academic success. I incorporate a lot of movement and exercise into my lessons, especially for my students with ADHD. Sometimes I have to use manipulatives for my kinesthetic learners. Some of my students struggle with their language skills and need to attend speech and language therapy to target specific skills. Other times I use anchor charts for my visual learners and to aid my students who struggle with retaining information.

My classroom is a wonderful and inviting place to learn because I recognize the talents and abilities of every child.

Within my classroom, there is a wide range of student abilities and needs. My students' willingness to learn despite their disabilities is inspiring! I believe school should be interesting and engaging and I plan to offer the best help I could to make my students comfortable learning in a general education classroom.

My Project

I am requesting boxes of various notebooks, binders, and folders in different colors to last the entire school year. This will ensure that all of my students have everything on their supply list provided to them. This way my students can start the school year focused and with peace of mind knowing that their needs are met.

School supply lists these days are long and parents sometimes struggle to get everything needed in time.

I wanted to make sure my students are well prepared. I do not want my students to worry about not having all they need for school. My students will be departmentalized, which means they will be traveling to different classes like middle schoolers do. The different colored folders will allow my students to save notices, charts, and handouts in each subject area in an orderly fashion. Students who needs notebooks and binders will have that as well. I rather my students focus on learning and striving for academic success than not having necessary everyday school supplies.
