I have four boys and two girls in my class. As with most children their personalities are very different. I have one boy who loves playing with cars and has begun to interact with the others. The other three boys keep to themselves and really don't play with the toys. One of my girls loves books and is great with the iPad. My other little girl loves playing with letter cards and books. Our class is in a public elementary school with five special ed classrooms, mine being one of them. I have included in my wish list some items that I would not ask our parents for. Our town was hit very hard last year by Super Storm Sandy and is still recovering. I feel that the parents are having a hard enough time as they are rebuilding their home, town, and community to ask for extra items for the classroom. Our school is a community. We try and integrate the children every chance we can. We eat lunch together in the cafeteria, and have recess together.
