Help me give my students anatomy models, books and a puzzle for the opportunity to learn about the body through reading, watching and hands-on learning!
My students are in kindergarten and first grade special education. They are students with developmental delays, autism spectrum disorder, learning disabilities, and emotional behavior disorder. The majority of the students come from low income families and struggle with navigating the school day.
I try my best to keep their interest up while teaching new and hopefully lasting skills for the lives they lead.
I enjoy being animated and bringing the students out of their shells to show their blossoming personalities. It is important for me to help the students realize that everyone is unique, and they matter very much.
For this particular project, I am looking to build our skills and knowledge of the human body. We will read, watch videos, complete tasks and carry out projects for hands-on learning experiences. The kids really enjoy getting into these projects. Currently, I use the project for summer school and incorporate reading, writing, math, movement and all aspects of school into our days.
My Project
The materials in this project include books, projects and hands-on learning for the students to explore the human body. Each day will during the session, will be assigned to learn about the human body. Along with the rest of the "regular" body systems, we will learn about keeping our bodies safe and secure, eating healthy, exercising, and everything in between.
The human body is an amazing phenomenon, and the kids are curious, so why not let them explore?
The summer session is twelve days, and we explore a different system each day. In the past, we have been able to make life-size (the size of the child) outlines of the students and attach the different parts of the body we explored during the session. In addition, we have made homemade lip gloss, boogers, and a model of the hand along with other things.
