I teach over 30 amazing students in a rural Title One school. Many of my fabulous students have special needs. Sometimes it can be challenging, but the rewards of seeing their excited faces as they grasp a new concept is worth every moment of frustration. I love getting to work with these students every day.
With large class sizes and many special needs students, it is a struggle to inspire every child every day, but that's my goal.
I want students to come to school every day excited about the day ahead and what lies before them.
My Project
I have watched a neighbor teacher with wobble chairs in her classroom. I even borrowed two of them to see if they would help some of my autistic and ADHD students. I was amazed at the difference it made to them and to me. The students wanted to sit on the wobble chairs because they are fun; however, the difference that was observed in their ability to concentrate and attend to the work at hand was significant. Kids that were normally getting into trouble were no longer facing the same challenges because they had the opportunity to move. I want my students to feel as successful as they did when I borrowed the chairs.
Being able to wiggle is critical, not just for special needs children, but for all children.
My goal is for all students to learn at high levels. The wobble chairs will allow my special needs students access to the same learning as their peers because they will be able to focus on the important things of school.
