On my last release day, I covered for Mrs. Fox, a special educator. She works with between one and six students at a time. I found that her organization system for her students was something that was very nice for the students. She had folders for each student with their work in them in different locations in the classroom. One student had a space in the corner with his own desk and materials. I think that if students are being pulled out for minutes, this is something that they need and is very special to them in general. It seemed to make the students that I worked with more comfortable as well. In the future, when I have students with special needs in my classroom, I will take this into account!
During this time, I dealt with a student that she prepared me for explaining his on and off days meaning sometimes he just shuts down and doesn't want to do anything. Today for this student was an off day. He completely was against doing anything for math. But, when it came to it, i was able to get him to solve an alphabet puzzle by identifying letters and sounds in the alphabet. Granted, we were supposed to be working on math, this was something that I found to work and keep him from sitting and doing nothing to miss precious minutes.
