My Project

An organized, functional classroom creates a positive, efficient, and supportive learning environment. It fosters a culture of respect, responsibility, and collaboration, contributing significantly to the overall success and well-being of the class. Materials such as the the magnetic file holder and the hanging wall file make it keeping supplies and turn in bins at various rights easier for students of all sizes or in a wheelchair feel independent enough to grab as they need and submitted work on their own. Supplies such as dry erase markers and whiteboard cleaning clothes help engage students with various colors on the board to peak interest and highlight key details during notes, students often like to clean the board when needing to move, this is great for students to help supportive and respect the classroom material in the room. While many do not think door stops play a vital role in the classroom, when you have students in wheelchairs or motorized scooters, being able to prop open the door lets them move freely without feeling the need always to be asking for assistance; the amount of independence is remarkable. While some items create the overall atmosphere of the classroom, there are specific one-to-one devices like calculators that can help students from all backgrounds. Calculators are essential in special education, providing valuable support for a class with diverse learning needs. My students often find it reassuring to be able to check their answers for mistakes, reducing issues with test anxiety.
