My Students
This will be my first year teaching Special Education, after 13 years as a Pre-Kindergarten teacher. My students are special needs students who need a lot of hands-on materials to gain their interest, as well as to help them learn. They range from being verbal to non-verbal, from readers to non-readers, and from independent to students requiring extra support. No matter their disability, they are all special and unique and I want to help make coming to school special and fun.
My Project
My students are learning adaptive learning skills and a monthly trip to the market will teach my students where groceries are located in the market and how to choose fruits and vegetables to eat well. Prior to going to the market, student will learn what types of foods there are and whether they need to get these foods.
They will pretend to shop with a shopping list that they make each time they shop.
In addition, they will use the kitchen to cook and make the food for the people in the classroom. For some students, learning to open the refrigerator is a big step or identifying a banana and giving that banana to a person. Students will also use the pretend washer and dryer to learn the steps in washing and drying clothes.
More than three‑quarters of students from low‑income households
