Every year I incorporate a novel into my curriculum that has a character who has a disability. Fish In A Tree is a novel who's main character is a young girl with a learning disability. With the help of this novel, I want my students to become comfortable with their own individual learning styles even if it's not that same as their other classmates.
My goal is to show my students that having a disability doesn't mean you can't be successful! With the help of this novel, not only will we be learning grade level reading skills, but we will also have open discussions about learning disabilities and the challenges they may face as students throughout their lifetimes. However, as also seen in the novel, I want my students to see how having a learning disability doesn't mean you can't accomplished any dream or goal you might have.
In addition to reading a class novel as a group, I also incorporate reading intervention time into my Language Arts class. With the help of these organizational tools (magnetic folder bins, magnetic paper pockets) I am hoping to make reading intervention time more efficient and organized! Also, within reading intervention time, my students and I use expo markers to work on different skills with individual whiteboards. We are always running out of expo markers and would appreciate more markers to use for the rest of the school year.
