Support Ms. Diesman's classroom with a gift that fosters learning.
My students are from an inner city area in the south Bronx, 38% of our students come from shelters. My class is a mix of general ed and special ed students. The school is a mixture of languages and backgrounds which makes it quite diverse population. We have a PreK- 5 building with about 750 students. The students benefit most from hands on experience. This year we are trying to bring movement in, which will allow all my students to be safe and independent within the classroom. This is the first year that we have notice a true lack of body control. This year we would like to address the physical health and wellness for all students no matter if they have an IEP or not. Comfort is the key to being successful. We would like all students to reach there fullest potential. By allowing my students to move and do what is natural they should be able to meet any standard and being successful on an test.
