My Students

Do you enjoy reading? Do you enjoy listening to a book on tape or CD? As I drive in to school each morning I really enjoy listening to a book on CD in the car. My special needs students like listening books on CD in the classroom. They have a little basket with some it in and they can choose the one that they want to listen to.

I get to come to school and watch some really special kids learn and grow each day.

My class is small as I am classified as an intensive needs class. My students have all been identified as having developmental, emotional, learning and physical difficulties. They range in grade level from 1st to 6th, and ability levels are from Pre-Kindgeraten to beginning 3rd grade. We are a very large school, serving grades Pre-K to 8, with over 950 students enrolled. Five of us serve the special needs population, and I have the youngest group. Our district in very rural, with no large cities or towns. We are dependent on agriculture for our economy. In fact the animals out number the people in our county!

My Project

Hearing the words to a story is a great way for my youngest students to associate the words/sounds that they hear with the letters/words. For my youngest students we will hold the book and "read" it together. For the older kids they hold their own books and make those connections. The kids love to hear stories read to them and think being able to choose a CD and load it up themselves is great. I have found the kids will them go back and pull out the book and puzzle over the words by themselves when given some "free" time have specifically request books that are "classics" one that we read as kids and still enjoy, and some new ones that are destined to gain classic status.

I have also chosen books that fit with the curriculum that I teach so as I rotate books in and out of the basket, to keep them fresh and new.

I can put in some that support what we are studying. The kids get a big thrill out of surprising me with those books when they find them, and I tell them how great they are to find that book and share it with me. So, thank you for your time and interest. You will never truly know how great of an impact you have made on a child.
