My Students

For the 2016-17 school year, I am the special education teacher in a 3rd grade Integrated Co-Teaching Class. This class currently has 27 students total and 10 of the students have IEPs and are students with disabilities. I was lucky enough to be the teacher for this group of children for first grade, second grade and now third grade! They are amazing children and I want the best for them all!

Many of the students in this group receive occupational therapy and/or have difficulties with handwriting.

In the third grade they will be learning how to write in cursive, so they are very excited! Our school is also adopting a new writing program, so the transition will be a little different. These students learn best when they are pulled to a quite area in the classroom, free of distractions and when they are able to work in a smaller group.

My Project

Working in small groups is how my students learn best. The class breaks off into groups during writing, reading, math and sometimes for science and social studies. Writing is an integral part of all of these subjects and when being pulled to a small group setting, the students are left with working at the carpet on the floor. They need a sturdy surface to support their writing.

Having workstations to use during small group sessions is vital for a higher quality of work.

The students will be able to have better posture, neater work and a place to organize their notebooks, pencils and other writing materials when in the small group. These work trays are extra nice because they have a small drawer, as well as a lip, (meant for a laptop) that will keep their materials from sliding down the work surface.
