oh and it is here too...great!!!!
Roll with it...or get rolled
School is making me reflect alot of things the first day back was prep enrolment and the SWD teacher was there waiting in line to enrol her boy.....after she had finished she came into the classroom to see what we have been up to and left with the comment 'you have had a term to settle in now you must join the class and work' MRDS is non verbal has limited signing skills and a very strong will (no he shouldn't be at a main stream school but after many meetings, he is staying because he can be there and his mum is in denial her words )
over the holidays I set abut making file folders, fine motor activities and bought a sign language book, each day we work to a program I made incorporating some group time with the class and lots of hands on learning for both of us...
Reading group - with class
writing in reading group book (scribble is good)
Play dough while we look at the SL flashcards

maths - counting to five anyway we can -leading to match things with numbers
fine motor activities

HOME
making the program and resources has got me thinking ho much I enjoy THAT sort of work...wonder if I could find work in that direction........
When I was at uni and freshly graduated, there were resource centres. They were amazing. They had heaps of stuff to borrow and had make and take sessions for teachers. I still have some of the big books I made there. I use to think it was a dream job. :)
ReplyDeletePeople sell stuff like that on Ebay. I know because I buy. I'm going to FB you some questions about your SEU set up there. It's different to ours.. ( we have well over 100 on the books in an inclusive model) Just curious.
I concur. Sell your wares, El. You have a gift (that could earn you money). Set up an FB page with all your awesome stuff on there and I will LIKE it and SHARE it and BUY from it :)
ReplyDeleteI haven't been able to 'like' all pages that are constantly advertised on FB... but then again, I'm a bit of a cow. Not to you, though. I'm much friendlier to you :)
