Mrs. Z.’s Classroom Edit display name

My classroom is the 3rd - 5th Life Skills classroom at Penrose School in Philadelphia. I have 13 students that vary in age and abilities. Every one of my students has specific IEP goals that need to be addressed daily. Due to the variety in my classroom, my lessons need to be extremely student centered and differentiated to meet the needs of my students. We work on reading, math, calendar skills, personal maintenance, domestic maintenance and IEP goals daily. We work on science, social studies, and life skills lessons weekly. This year I am partnering with a third grade teacher to start a buddy inclusion program for our students. Being placed in a city school makes it hard to come by the materials needed to create a meaningful education for my students. I try my best to supply my students with everything the need to be successful.
