First of all, "watering down the lessons" may not be the best plan. If you are the reg. ed. teacher, you need to make accomodations that meet their needs. This should be documented in their IEP's. Remember these are going| to be somebody elses fourth graders next year. You might consider reducing the amount of work, less spell words, math problems. They might get a chance to retake a test to have some success. I would start by talking to the Resource teacher and getting a look at their IEP's. Ask your school psyc. or Resource teacher: What are their strengths? How do they learn best? One may do well in math | |
but have great difficulty with phonics, therefore, reading acrosss the board is difficult. Sending coloring books to your class is certainly not enough. Don't accept that.There is a good website for children with learning disabilities: ldonline.com. I'm sure this is really scary being a student teacher, but I bet you can make some real breakthroughs with these kids! Good Luck1
