My Students

There is never a dull moment in my classroom with the bright, funny, creative individuals I have the pleasure of teaching. My students are in a self-contained middle school special education classroom for students with a variety of disabilities that make it difficult for them to access their grade level academics. Each child has an individual education plan to help them make progress on goals in academics, social skills, communication, and functional life skills. About 1/3 of my students speak English as a second language and every student works significantly below their grade level in all academic areas.

My students love to come to school and it is my joy to get to be their teacher.

They are very hard workers and try their best to grow and learn in every subject. They are full of curiosity, energy and incredible potential. We try to always focus on the positive and celebrate every success that our students achieve. Every day we do our best to make sure that our students have the necessary tools they need to succeed, but it's not easy when you have a small classroom budget per year in a high-poverty school.

My Project

I would like to add some under the desk bicycling pedalers to help students focus in the classroom. Our school currently has 1 bicycle desk and I've seen a lot of success with it. Students that have a hard time focusing love the under desk bicycle because they are able to move and still be able to pay attention.

The cost of the bicycle desks is high but with a few more, I can reach more students using the under the desk pedalers.

I would love to scatter a few around my classroom and allow students to move without being disruptive to others. These will allow all students to be more successful.
