My Students

My preschool through fifth grade Deaf and Hard of Hearing students are so happy to be back in school face-to-face. They are able to see their old friends and meet new friends. They are very accepting of our new school COVID safety protocols because they want to continue to come to school. The students work well together and have created a warm and accepting community.

Now, that we are back in school face-to-face, there are new and different challenges to face and overcome.

The students come from a variety of backgrounds with diverse receptive and expressive language skills. This is the first time many of the students have physically been in school all day in almost 2 years.

My Project

There are students who need to physically move around more than others. COVID safety protocols restrict movement in the classroom. Making the chairs wobbly and adding bouncy feet will help these students remain in their areas for longer periods of time and still be able to move around.

Being in school all day and following a school schedule, instead of their home schedule, has been hard for some students.

Individual visual timers will help students see how much time they have for their activities. Finger highlighters will help others to help track as they read.
