Community Helpers and Body Parts

My Students

This year I am teaching all subjects in a self-contained cluster classroom to students in kindergarten, first and second grade. My students have various disabilities including, learning disabilities, autism spectrum disability, Down syndrome, cognitive disabilities, social-emotional disabilities, speech impairments, etc.

I love that they are all so different, learn in different ways, have different strengths and weaknesses, and want to learn and explore.

I love when they are proud of their accomplishments and want to share their work. I love when they finally understand a lesson, and then want to help a student that is still struggling. I love when they literally jump for joy because they didn't something right.

My Project

My students are learning about the parts of their body, learning to name the parts and point to the correct parts, and recognize where the parts go. Mr. and Mrs. Potato Head will help the students to locate, name, and place the parts in the correct places, in a fun and engaging way.

My Students will be working on a Community Helpers Unit next month, and some figures of the different community workers will really help my students to identify the community workers, see what they wear, and the tools that they use.

It will also, help them to use the figures to role play what the different community helpers do.
