This is just the beginning of my journey to create a classroom that is not only comfortable but rich in tools and resources for my students. As a special education teacher in 2019, the needs and diversity of my students are always changing.
Imagine a classroom where students are interacting with teachers, peers, and technology while feeling safe and comfortable! This is my goal for my classroom!
With the added technology and workspace options my students will be able to rotate through stations and activities in a comfortable and engaging way!
Students who are comfortable and have access to a variety of tools to meet their sensory needs will feel successful.
I am also requesting various sensory tools and “fidgets” to help my students stay on task and to meet their sensory needs. These tools can travel with them around the school to ensure those needs are being met and to help them focus.
Currently, my students work at their desks, on the rug, or at a single group table in the back. This is sometimes uncomfortable for them. Having different seating options such as yoga balls and soft spots, students will have more access to different areas of my room. Making sure students are comfortable is an essential component in motivating them. I have noticed amazing differences in my students when they are given a choice in their seating. They almost always make good choices about where they sit, are more engaged, and get more work completed than when they are just sitting at their desks.
