Been back at school for the last three weeks! Instruction is going well though in the next two weeks we have 3 of 10 days off ( Labor Day, Rosh Hashana and primary elections) Wondering how to keep classes together yet separated by the interruptions.
I may plan by grade level but each class is different. All classes Will get the basic plan but we have to change and expand for each.
This year I am trying to pull my autism classes into the reading incentive program, called Chessie. Working on Smartboard quizzes we can do after we read the book. The student aides can help with this too. We will start with non fiction at the beginner level.
Almost finished with Peace, Locomotion by Jacqueline Woodson.The book is written is all letter format, letters from brother to sister who are separated and in foster care system. Very sensitive. I like the flow of the words and Lonnie personality.
Looking forward to another day off before Back to School Night!
