My Students

I am a Resource teacher who works with students with disabilities. I work primarily with students ranging in age from 5 through 9.

My students are sometimes in Special Education their entire school career, and I like to get them off to the right start with reading, writing, mathematics, science, and social studies.

We are in a small town where students don't always get opportunities outside of school. It's my job to make it FUN and engaging!

My Project

Students with disabilities and those who do not often need to physically move their bodies around the room in order for them to learn best. Some prefer to be on the floor, sitting in a chair, or standing.

Although it is not the traditional way that a schoolroom looks, the students thrive on choosing their preference for learning.

Simply choosing a space, or a standing desk to do work gives the students the power in their learning.

Help me to allow movement in my classroom that promotes student advocacy for their individual needs as well as increases their ability to learn. Thank you!
