My Students

I am a special education teacher at a Title I school. My classroom is a self-contained classroom containing students with high special education needs. My students work on communication through pictures, gestures, and eye gazes. My students stay with me through their entire elementary grades K-5, so we develop a close bond over those 6 years. We do a modified curriculum, so we need a lot of hands-on materials because they do not use paper and pencil tasks. We also have access to a sensory room and my students go to class with their general education peers when possible.

My Project

My classroom has high sensory needs. That being said, flexible seating is always something that I have wanted to add to my classroom. My students love to rock and get in and out of their seats. I would love to be able to enhance learning by providing a variety of options for seating. I know that my students would benefit greatly from having a choice in how they learn and this would be one of those choices that they can make! It would also help with some of their sensory needs.
