My Students
As a teacher of students in low income/single-parent family homes, my students are faced with several challenges both in and out of the classroom. Despite the many challenges they face, I am looking to keep things simple and provide my students with creative and meaningful learning experiences.
The students in my classroom are students with learning and emotional disabilities.
They like to move, they love to read and love lots of positive attention. Many are students with a range of disabilities, emotional disturbance and specific learning disability. These things may prevent them from getting ahead early in life and may deprive them of life experiences many of us see as "typical". From the minute they walk in the door of my classroom, I focus on their potential and growth while they are with me. I may not be able to control their home lives, however, I can certainly control their experience during the school day. By doing this in a creative and positive way, I am hopeful to inspire even our earliest learners to continue on a path of academic excellence.
My Project
My students need a place and activities to help them explore new ways of thinking. We need a train table. My students are learning and exploring in our classroom daily. They need a train table and accessories that are devoted to exploration. They love to explore and the train set will help them meet learning standards in new ways.
Can you imagine how much fun our class will be with a train table?
The train table and accessories wil help our students become problem solvers as they determine how to build the train tracks. They will be able to use the trains, cars and other accessories to role play different situations and use team work to build the tracks in different ways. This project will help my students have space and have fun learning.
More than half of students from low‑income households
