My 2nd and 3rd grade small special education class, in a title 1 school in Brooklyn, NY, is made up of 12 fantastic and different children. Their ability levels range from non-readers to beginning chapter books and from learning basic facts to adding/subtracting 3 digit numbers with regrouping. They require many different hands on small group lessons to reach their goals, all while being able to take frequent movement breaks.
Each child holds a key to unlock their future and style of learning.
In 2/3-239 each child may learn the same skill through a different strategy that works best for them in small groups and centers.
My Project
Chair kick bands, colored sand and massage balls/brushes will aid my students to master what they need to learn the best that they can. Having the ability to move and touch using multiple senses during instruction is essential in my classroom. Most importantly they will have the tools they need to calm down, attending to their emotional needs, so they can get back to learning.
Basic supplies like copy paper and various tape will be vital in literacy and math centers, as well as visual aids hung up around the room and on their desks.
These supplies addressing sensory, emotional, and basic classroom needs will be such an asset to each students sucess this year.
More than three‑quarters of students from low‑income households
