My Project
This will be my first year as a Special Education teacher! My ultimate goal is to provide a classroom where each student feels comfortable to express their feelings in a safe, welcoming place for them to come to on a daily basis!
The materials I included are Spots feelings which will be a supplementary curriculum in my classroom to help shape little minds expressing different emotions.
The mailbox helps organize the classroom paper and materials and keep them accessible to students. The bean bags will go in the calming space to provide a comfortable place for students to go to when their body needs a break!
My students are special because they are unique, they make you smile, and they learn and grow in different ways. My students challenge me to grow as an educator.
More than half of students from low‑income households
