Hi! Welcome!This blog is to be used to post the events and happenings of Classroom 305 of The Mickey Mantle School in New York City. A place where teachers, students and parents can communicate!
Let me introduce myself - I am Ms. Jean, Special Education Teacher. I teach K-2 students with autism in a self-contained 6:1:1 class . Students work on their goals: reading, writing, math, social skills, fine motor skills, gross motor skills, communication skills and also practice our ADL's. (Activities of Daily Living) Students have begun to adjust to the new school year and have adapted well to classroom and school routines.
In September we followed the cross curriculum thematic units "Back to School" and "Apples". We read fiction and nonfiction books about school and apple related topics. We learned important school and apple vocabulary. And we made school and apple related artwork and other literacy projects. Our hallway bulletin board proudly displayed student writing that told of our favorite class in school and why it was our favorite. It also showed our "Favorite Teacher Frames". These frames were made on silver mirrored oak tag and were covered in school related die-cut shapes by each student. Centered in each frame was a lovely shot of each child with their favorite teacher!
Plans for October include following thematic units "Pumpkins" and "Halloween". Have fun with your child when selecting a safe (no mask and fire proof) costume! Instead of carving a pumpkin with your child, why not let them paint a scary face on one? Templates for this are available in stores and online or you can make one yourself.
Till Next Time!
