My ESE Pre-K class is located in one of Hillsborough County low-income areas. 100% of my students receive free/reduced lunch. Children are placed into my class for a variety of reasons. My class size, the age of my students and the disabilities my students have varies every year. Disabilities like Autism, Down Syndrome, Oppositional Defiant Disorder (ODD), visual impairments, and other developmental and language/communication delays. My class currently has 3 students (and grows monthly with short notice). Some are non-verbal while others are beginning to read; their personalities and needs are so different. With this age and learning gap, it's important to have differentiated instruction, engaging activates and to provide one on one or very small group instructions to teach based on each students current needs. I want my students to learn how to be nice friends, be happy and have FUN at school!
