My Students

This year I will be teaching an intensive needs classroom. I will have eight kindergarten students with a range of disabilities. They will go to a typical kindergarten classroom for morning meeting, recess, lunch, specialists, snack, and free choice play. The students will return to my classroom for academic instruction of math, reading, and writing. My students will be practicing their skills with a variety of materials and will require repetition. I want to build my library of interesting and engaging materials to keep them going!

My Project

My students will need a lot of skill repetition to learn literacy and math concepts. This new, fun technology will allow students to engage in the practice of these skills. The pen will allow students to self correct their answers. I have selected a wide variety of skill cards including addition, subtraction, shapes, number recognition, counting, spelling, vowels and consonants, and reading.

My students have technology at home through iPads and phones, but increasing their knowledge of types of technology is crucial.

This new activity will engage my students and help them become independent. They will be able to practice their skills in a variety of ways using this activity.
