This project is part of the Black History Month celebration because it supports a Black teacher or a school where the majority of the students are Black.
My Students
I have a special class of 3rd graders. I had most of them in second grade and pretty much looped with them to third grade. I have one of the largest classes in my school with 25 students who all have a wide range of skills and needs.
My school is on the north side of Indianapolis but my students come from all over, especially the east side of Indianapolis.
Many of my students live in high crime, high poverty neighborhoods and some of the parents have limited English speaking skills. My students are very sociable, and have a strong desire to learn and are always looking for ways to strengthen their learning. I have one student who has Albinism and is legally blind. I have several other students who learning and speech disabilities and would like to further create a learning environment to help all of these students learn and achieve their absolute best.
My Project
I have 23 students with many different learning, sensory, and vision disabilities. With having such a diverse group of learners it can be challenging to meet all of their learning needs.
The 4 yoga balls will provide my students with a way to get their wiggles out while still being productive.
A class set of clipboards will give them a chance to work in other places beside their desks along with the dry erase erasers for their whiteboards. My students are a very active bunch and they keep me on my toes constantly! Traditional learning materials do not always help them succeed.
