The seventh graders that I am observing just started a "perseverance" unit with nonfiction text. I love the idea of literature circles.
I would like to keep whatever I choose for later use.
Stay tuned for which direction I go...

Don't Waste It
Trying to develop a unit and my lens is always literature. I would love to venture out of my comfort zone on this but not real sure where to start. I am currently a para in a SPED classroom of 6-8th graders. I am personally responsible for three eighth graders and one sixth grader, then there are several that float in and out. I teach them science, history and they float out for math/reading. We are currently learning mass, periodic table(8th) and motion(6th). We are learning about Lewis and Clark and Sacagawea on different levels for all students.

ReplyDeleteI have subbed a few times in the SPED class at STJ elem. and I really enjoyed it. I felt that I was able to be more one on one with the students and be more in tune with their specific needs. I agree, figuring out lessons that you can use now in your para position would be an awesome opportunity.
ReplyDeleteI have recently observed in a SPED classroom. I had never looked at going in that direction with my career but I loved it! Well wishes to you and the lesson you decide on.
