My K-3 Special Education classroom spans four grade levels and is full of unique minds! They come from diverse socioeconomic backgrounds, many are learning English as a second language and all have been labeled with a disability. My students, however, do not view their disability as a limit to their potential. They can learn, they just learn differently. My students astound and inspire me with their curious minds, their inquisitive spirit, and their eagerness to teach others.
Here are some things you might see or hear in our classroom: debates on which strategy to use to solve an addition problem, requests to stay in math class during recess, examples of when they used math at home with their family, bragging to their Mom or Dad about their most recent math quiz, a high five when a peer gets a question right, a power clap when the whole class is busy engaging in higher level thinking skills, and the glow in a kid's eye when they get to lead a number talk.
