My Students

The students at my school generally come from low economic backgrounds. Most students crave that extra support from other adults around the school. Also, these students need some extra guidance academically, behaviorally, and/or socially.

As a special education teacher, I have the opportunity to work with students in a small group setting to give my students that extra support they need academically, behaviorally, and/or socially.

I am in the fortunate situation to be able meet each of my student's individual needs. I am also fortunate to be able to help each of my student's explore the feeling of accomplishment that every child wants to achieve.

My Project

The materials and supplies I am requesting is to help create a classroom environment where students feel at home. When students feel comfortable, it helps them feel at home, which in turn helps them learn. In our classroom, we do a lot of small group work in our English and math class. Students will use the flexible seating arrangement for their different station work (e.g. math problem solving, computer work, book clubs, independent reading, and more).

Flexible seating encourages students to find their best spot to stay calm, focused and productive.

There is no better way to show your support for a student-centered classroom, than creating a classroom from a child's point of view.
