Journal Entry 3
Blog Entry #3 February 27, 2015
In the
last couple weeks in my observation with Mrs. Nuttall and her kindergarten
class, there have been two special education students lowly being merged into
the class. This has been really neat to observe. There is always a teacher that
come in with them, and every week they extend their stay in the class a little
bit longer. Like the first week it was literally 5 minutes, now they are to
about 20 minute in the class, which give them time to do some group time and
center. It is very neat to see the other kids help them, out and get the hang
of class room environment. I do not know what special needs these kid have, one
is more severe than the other. However they bother are doing well with being immersed
into the class, It is wonderful that they ca be immersed into the class.
While observing this week I was able
to talk to another kindergarten teacher about one of her student who has a
really hard time focusing, and also runs from the class at random times. He has
an IEP, because he has a learning disability. It was neat to talk to her
because she is able to help him in ways she could not help her regular student.
Since the student is a runner and has a hard time focusing, the IEP allows her
to hold him and help him stay focused and not run so that he can learn.
Normally holding student is not allowed, but because it is what helps him and
he has an IEP with it addressed in it she can. That was cool to me because it
shows how the IEP helped the student learn, but also helped the teacher teach
him.
