Our Life Skills classroom consists of kindergarten - 2nd grade students who have intellectual disabilities. We spend our days teaching the students practical life skills. For example, learning how to identify their name as well as identifying a picture of themselves. We also are teaching proper self - care techniques like wiping their faces when dirty and learning how to clean up after themselves. Academically, we spend the entire year teaching the alphabet and the numbers 1-10.
I am in love with these students! They learn a little slower in comparison to the general education students but they deserve the proper resources to be successful in today's society! It is so important for them to feel valued and they are often not thought of, or pushed to the side, and I am here trying to advocate for the special education students of our future! They need to be included in society and be given a chance at independence.
