This upcoming year I’m embarking on a new adventure! I’m moving to a school that provides services to students and individuals (preschool - age 21) with severe cognitive and physical impairments. This school services individuals with severe disabilities within the district and other local districts that exhibit a need for highly specialized educational support for individual students. I couldn't be more excited to begin this new adventure.
These students work so hard, despite the many challenges they face because of disabilities, disrupted home lives, being homeless or in danger of homelessness, and living in poverty.
Our classroom will truly be like their home away from home. In our classroom, we will be a family, and everyone will work to do their best and to be their best every day.
My Project
So many students face challenges outside of school that many of us couldn’t imagine facing. Challenges like poverty, homelessness, and an unstable home life makes life stressful. My students needs a safe space in our classroom where they can go to calm down when they are feeling anxious or stressed. Materials like a rug, beanbag chair, fidgets, and feelings posters will help them calm down in this safe space and help them learn how to self-regulate their emotions. Book bins will allow students to select calming books to help them release stress and de-escalate. Mints and chocolate will provide tasty treats. Please help me provide my learners with a space to help them release stress and self-regulate their behavior.
