I want to provide the best education and best high school experience I can for my students that are in high school! They are aged 14-21 and attend school in an inner-city school and participate in special education programming. I am currently teaching life skills to support math, reading, science, job skills, and life management to students with intellectual disabilities. We have been doing remote learning. The kids have been working so hard and that makes me so proud!
My Project
We are working on learning how to read. We are learning our letter sounds and writing letters and words. The writing whiteboards will help students practice their writing. These boards will be used at home and brought back to school when we return to the building.
Students will also practice their reading skills using reading cards at home and in the classroom.
All of the resources requested will be used by the students to help them become better readers.
The students will practice learning letter sounds, pronouncing works, and writing words with the resources requested.
