Help me give my students practical products such as a seating cube for flexibility, and a sweeper to learn responsibility, chores, and the ability to keep our space clean.
The students I work with are extraordinary! They teach me much more than I teach them! Their individuality is second to none as they each are learning to be their own leaders. These students come from low-income households, and our district has qualified for free school lunch based on these low economic numbers.
We are learning skills that are vital to becoming a successful and productive members of society, where we focus on improving ourselves and not comparing ourselves to others; we celebrate all successes, and learn that success does not have a measurable size, for each is worthy of praise!
We strive to be the best we can, daily.
These students have differentiated needs which are related to developmental, cognitive and health challenges, and all of them have the potential to make proficient growth this school year (academically and personally), so any additional resources that I can help provide to and for them will only increase their chances of success!
My Project
The seating cube will allow for flexibility in seating for students, as many have frequent wiggles and alternative seating helps in their attention to tasks. Having our own sweeper will provide our class the ability to take pride in our space by keeping it clean ourselves - learning responsibility is important.
We reuse materials so having laminate pouches to extend the life of materials is important; we also are learning about responsibility and included is being proactive in keeping our space clean.
Laminate will allow us to use materials as dry erase boards as well, the hooks will allow us to organize our materials better, and the ink pads will be used in letter and sound learning.
