My Students
I teach in a high poverty school that serves children with disabilities in New York City. My classroom is a Kindergarten-2nd grade self-contained 12:1:4 (12 students: 1 teacher: 4 paraprofessionals). Most of my students have multiple disabilities, Visual Impairments, autism and speech and language impairments. I work in one of the highest need areas in NYC and almost all my students rely on our free breakfast and lunch program. My students vary in academic levels, interests, behaviors, and learning styles. All of my students have very unique needs and learn very differently. I am constantly searching for ways to engage them in learning and help each and every child achieve their best.
My Project
Many of my students are in wheelchairs or adaptive seats. They need the option to get out of their wheelchairs or adaptive chairs whenever possible. We only have one deflated bean bag in our classroom which is not enough support for the students. These beanbags and floor cushions will offer flexible seating for my students and an additional seating option. This will make them more comfortable able willing to learn.
My students need to be comfortable during the school day, this can be done by taking them out of their wheelchairs and put on a beanbag.
More than three‑quarters of students from low‑income households
