My students have really unique needs that can impact every area of their learning. I have been collaborating with our Speech Language Pathologist and Occupational Therapist to make units that start to expose kids to concepts of print, literature, and other basic skills in an engaging way. We need more board books in our classroom library, so that kids can re-visit and read books where they see characters that look like them and are working on the same skills they are working on.
We are working on building a library of high quality children's literature that gives us the building blocks for lessons on a wide variety of topics our students need to work on. They love books and we need more representation and access!
My project is to get a library of 20 books that cover a variety of concepts: seasons, weather, basic functional skills, transportation and food. My colleagues and I will adapt these books so that we can use them to teach concepts of print, communication and fine motor skills, and to introduce the ideas of the books themselves. I鈥檝e also asked for shoelaces to create lacing cards to go with books, and emotion tiles to help children to develop social cognition and regulation skills.
