My students are between the ages of 3 to 5 years with a variety of developmental needs, ranging from communication, mobility, vision, and social skills. Their little bodies are not made for sitting in a chair for long periods of time.
We explore through play and by hands-on experiences.
It is hard to sit and listen, we need lots of visuals and materials to learn. Not only do we need lots of visuals and materials, we need a variety to keep things interesting.
The students I work with are in preschool special education program. Every day is something different and we overcome many challenges. We celebrate every accomplishment no matter how big or small.
My Project
For this project, I am looking at how to help maintain social distancing while effectively teaching my students how to sit in their chair during group time. Little bodies have lots of wiggles and regular chairs may not fit the needs of all students. It is hard to maintain space for students when they may not understand how close is too close to their peer.
The cube chairs I have selected will help each student have their spot on the carpet while providing each student with the opportunity to make their bodies aware of their own personal space.
These chairs will give support for each student, while outlining proper sitting. Once students are sitting in their spot, the hope is to increase attention on the activity.
