My students are between the ages of 3 to 5 years with a variety of developmental needs, ranging from communication, mobility, vision, and social skills. Their little bodies are not made for sitting in a chair for long periods of time.
We explore through play and by hands-on experiences.
It is hard to sit and listen, we need lots of visuals and materials to learn. Not only do we need lots of visuals and materials, we need a variety to keep things interesting.
The students I work with are in preschool special education program, where they may need help with academics, speech/language, fine motor skills, gross motor skills, or social skills. Every day is something different and we overcome many challenges. We celebrate every accomplishment no matter how big or small.
My Project
This year one of the focus that I have in my classroom is being mindful of my center activities. As always my students need hands materials as well as a variety of materials to maintain interest.
The materials I have selected are math activities that my students can use independently or when working with an adult.
I am mindful when selecting materials to go along with the theme we are working on and also materials that can be used throughout the year.
This year I hope to strengthen or counting skills, number recognition, and independent learning.
