My Students

Our class is an integrated class with a general education teacher, a special education teacher and 29 students, some of the students have IEP's which mean they have speech, Occupational Therapy, Physical Therapy or another need that they may need a classroom with 2 teachers in order to get the individualized attention to make them successful.

Having a both a special education teacher and a general education teacher together in one classroom gives both groups an advantage.

We were switched to a flexible seating classroom two years ago and the children adapted so nicely but unfortunately we can no longer use this seating due to the pandemic. We are back to desks for now. We couldn't be more proud of our kids. They always rise to the occasion. The children in the room are on very different levels and yet they are kind and caring. Always ready to help a friend who is stuck. We love what we do every single day.

My Project

This cart will help keep our laptops and document cameras at a good height for the students that are watching the live teaching from their homes. We are finding that at a sit-down desk the camera is too low for the kids to see my coteacher and myself during the minilesson. We like to be animated and excite the children about learning.

Since we have students with special needs and two teachers, using this cart will easily allow me to wheel my laptop out into the hall and help a child who is at home one on one quietly if they are having difficulty with a lesson while the general education teacher remains inside with the 'in person' learners.

We need something to make this a quick and easy transition. Having our laptop, supplies, and materials needed for the lesson on this cart will make it easy to keep everything together.
