I have sweet, outgoing fifth graders. They are uniquely talented and energetic about learning. I am a learning support teacher and my students have various disabilities. My students are diagnosed with mental retardation, specific learning disabilities, autism, speech and language impairments, and other health impairments. Within my learning support classroom I collaborate with the speech therapist, physical therapist, and occupational therapist to plan authentic learning experiences that combine academic, gross and fine motor, social, and language tasks. Cooking is a real life skill that we do often in my classroom to combine learned skills and practice independence. Students in my class all have different strengths and developing areas of need. Within each cooking experience, students are working as a team and each has a job related to their individual developing area. We call ourselves Team 54 (my room number).
