My Students
I teach a special education/early childhood preschool program in a rural Utah town. My students consist of special education students, along with typically developing children who serve as peer models. I have quite the spectrum of ability levels in my classroom from differently-abled children who are experiencing their first time away from parents, all the way up to students who are reading on their own.
I love teaching a broad spectrum of students, who grow and learn together.
I think what I enjoy the most about children is their ability to explore the world around them and find wonder in their imaginations.
The reason I feel that our program is so special is that it is the only time that special education children will experience full inclusion with their typically developing peers. I have seen so many benefits for developing children as they learn and play with each other.
My Project
I teach in a special needs preschool setting. I have students on the autism spectrum who need sensory supports and motivational items in order to learn emotional skills and develop social skills with their peers. I would like to create reinforcement charts for my students focusing on classroom goals, calm body, watching eyes, listening ears, and soft voices. When students work towards earning five stars on their reinforcement charts they will get to choose a motivational item like, Calming Cuddle Ball, Popping and Tumbling Spinning Ball Domes, Infant Silicone Soft Colorful Neon Arches, and Ultimate Slime Putty Lab. They are working to earn these reward activities while learning one to one correspondence, left to right tracking on their charts. As they earn their chosen reward we will work on social skills such as turn-taking, cause and effect, and eye contact.
