My Students
My school is amazing! We have wonderful staff, parents and the students in my classroom are fantastic! I teach in a blended classroom which means I have students ranging from ages 3-5. I have 15 students in my AM session and 14 students in my PM session. The majority of my students are general education students; however, 1/3 of my students are students with special needs.
I love observing the interactions between my students because at this age no one sees any differences, everyone is treated the same and everyone is included.
It doesn't matter if some students have limited speech, cognitive impairments, or health-related concerns. We modify and differentiate our curriculum so every student can apply what is learned, participate, and succeed.
My Project
In our classroom we instill creativity, motivation, and perseverance. However, sometimes students feel discouraged when the masterpiece they were working on is described by others as "scribbles" on paper.
Reading books like, I'm Not Just a Scribble and Invisible Scribble can help my students understand that "mistakes" and "scribbles" can be turned into something WONDERFUL!
These books can help my students develop the abilities to see what their work can turn into and not all finished projects need to look perfect! Currently we will be able read these books to our students during remote learning and once we all return to the classroom EVERYONE will have the opportunity to benefit from these materials.
