My Students
Our students have a variety of special needs that require differentiated and unique materials along with a safe feel environment in order to best facilitate their learning.
As once stated by George Evans, "Every student can learn just not on the same day or in the same way!" Our students vary in grade level from Kindergarten to Second Grade with a variety of instructional levels and abilities.
Due to these varying levels and needs, our classroom requires a unique set of materials to help our students grow and succeed in the same way as their typical peers.
My Project
These materials will help our students with their emotional, physical, and academic needs within a small group setting. With flexible seating, sensory materials, and soft space materials we are able to create a safe place for our students to learn in the manner that best supports them.
Not all students learn best at a desk!
Flexible seating, such as wobble stools and wobble cushions, give students choice in where they learn. Choice can allow students more control and thus provide a more conducive environment for learning. Sensory materials, such as bubble timers and foot bands, help students manage displaced energy and attend to the task at hand. The calm down area we are attempting to build in our classroom is the final element of creating a safe space. A calm down area with soft mats and seating allows our students a place to decompress when they become overwhelmed by tasks that are difficult for them.
Nearly all students from low‑income households
Data about students' economic need comes from the National Center for Education Statistics, via our partners at MDR Education. Learn more
