My Students

My students are absolutely amazing in every way. Our class is complete with 25 enthusiastic, curious and animated first graders from a range of cultural and socioeconomic backgrounds. Our class is an integrated co-teaching (ICT) classroom meaning that a portion of our students have special needs. Our needs range from speech and language disorders to autism and none of the labels stop any of the students from trying their hardest and always exceeding expectations. These 25 students are dedicated and excelling in the classroom is the norm!

Our class of students is a unique, clever, determined and persistent bunch with a range of interests and needs--making each and every lesson new and exciting!

My co-teacher and I take a very hands-on approach to education which allows students to demonstrate their learning in a variety of ways.

My Project

Our first graders are constantly fidgeting, wiggling or tapping. Our current chairs and classroom does not accommodate for them to use their wiggles in a constructive way. My co-teacher and I always plan hands-on and engaging activities that incorporate movement in order to ensure that they are constantly focused and learning. We need these tools to allow our students to focus when it is time to do independent work or sit at their desks.

These OT tools will allow for our students to wiggle in a productive and safe way that encourages them to focus on their work while taking care of their Kinesthetic needs.

Lap desks and floor cushions will allow our students to work on the floor and in comfortable positions. Fidgets and chair bands will help them move their arms and legs in a constructive and non-distracting manner. Wobble chairs and cushions will help our active students who need constant movement to stay focused during independent and small group work.
