Many of the students in my classroom have experienced trauma in their lives and have difficulty coming to school. Our class serves students with a range of disabilities, including intellectual disabilities, emotional disturbance, autism spectrum disorder and specific learning disabilities. Special education teachers are expected to deliver excellent instruction in English, Math, and Science without the requisite tools to teach our students. A typical day in my classroom is filled with fun, hands on learn activities that incorporate whole brain and whole body movements that keeps students engaged and participating in their learning. My classroom is made up of 9 special education students in kindergarten, first and second grade. My day consists of a lot of small group instruction so each grade level gets the curriculum they need.
