My Students

My classroom includes 9 kindergarten-2nd grade students who are classified as deaf or hard of hearing. We use a combination of sign language and oral communication methods. Many of my students come from low-income families and they all receive free breakfast and lunch. Along with having a hearing loss, a majority of my students are also English language learners. Because they are in a specialized classroom, these children are often on long bus rides to and from school.

Even with long commutes and struggling families, these students are eager to learn!

They come into school excited to start the day. If I can give them six hours of a stable environment and structure and organization then I will do everything I can to make sure that can happen for them!

My Project

Even though my students have a positive attitude towards learning, they need the tools to make this happen! Having a large rug in the room would help make the room more acoustically sound for students with a hearing loss. They will have the best chance at hearing everything that is happening around them.

The chart stand and paper would help provide the visuals that are necessary in helping deaf/hard of hearing students learn.

Because they may not be able to hear all the information, they heavily rely on visual learning. Being able to surround them with pictures and vocabulary will be key in building their knowledge!
