My Students

Our classroom is a full inclusion classroom. We have multiple abilities in the classroom, starting with Autism to what you may consider a typical child. For many of our students, this is their very first experience within a classroom. We our a classroom of 25, which is pretty high for a Kindergarten classroom, especially an Inclusion room. With the various levels, we have students who can read already, to students who are still struggling with recognizing letters and sounds. I love being in an Inclusion setting because you are constantly being reminded that all children can learn. When our students are involved in hands-on activities or involved in project based learning and small groups, you see a different child than you would see during whole groups.

My Project

With our classroom having various abilities, it is tough for us to partake in activities where all learners feel confident. With this generation being so tech savvy, coding is something that all learners can be successful. Our class also has 2 different Osmo programs that were donated a few years ago, however we do not have technology to support the program. I believe if we can access various tech programs, it will increase the level or excitement for learning in our classroom. When being involved in coding activities, students are being exposed to positional words which is part of Kindergarten curriculum. The Osmo programs that were donated have various coding programs also various basic skills programs, such as letter identification, rhyming words, creating pictures out of shapes, etc... What I have noticed over that last 2 years of new Kindergartners is that the children are able to manipulate technical devices better than retaining some skills. I hope that introducing them to coding programs will give them a way of making a connection with skills and technology.
