Lately I have been able to work more one on one with the students and have been given more responsibilities in preparing projects and activities for the kids now that I am familiar with the workroom at the School. Because it is Special Ed. each student is on a different learning level. Kay takes advantage of their love of holidays and special occasions. I have been preparing many Halloween packets for the kids to teach them different things such as the lifestyle of a bat. She also put me to work filing all of her lesson plans for late summer and early fall and preparing all of her Halloween/Autumn and Thanksgiving plans and activities. She is also having me assemble IEP packets for some of the kids as well once she has filled them out to have them ready for their IEP meetings.
For my one on one work with the kids I have been able to give spelling tests, work with some of the students on their math and improving their "Number Sense" skills. I have been reading with them and working on specific sight words and keeping track of any mistakes they make so they know what words they need to work on. I have been dealing with money and change as well as motor skills with some of the more physically disabled students. I love that the kids are becoming more comfortable with me and that I am feeling more comfortable with teaching as well as disciplining them. They are beginning to realize that I am not there just to have fun. That I am there to learn and to be respected. I am beginning to think that I can teach and be successful at it.
