My Students

The students in my class all have special needs. Some have a diagnose of Autism, Down Syndrome and other health issues. We try to teach our students to be as independent as possible. We not only work on academic skills but we practice everyday life skills. I have Kindergarten students that are very active which makes for a very interesting classroom dynamic! To help with all of the very busy students I think that flexible seating will help all of the students be able to sit longer to focus on the lesson. It has been shown that flexible seating helps students be able to focus on lessons longer. Sometimes the classroom becomes to much for my students. They then require a quite area to calm down. While they are calming done they use sensory items. Sometimes they like to have something to squeeze, something to chew, or something to fidget with. These items can also be used in the classroom to keep focus on the lesson.

My Project

This will greatly improve student focus during lessons. They will be able to wiggle and move while staying in their seats to participate in the lesson!!
