2/24/2017 0 Comments Technology Apps: What is helpful?This app helps to create flashcards with visuals on them so that students with Autism can learn visually since that helps connect with them more than just words and phrases.
"Picture cards are an integral part of an effective learning program and are used to help teach new words and concepts and foster self-expression. " I would use this app by taking children who need the extra practice out in the hall separately with me and I would create flashcards with pictures instead of words.

2/10/2017 0 Comments What have I been up to?Recently, I had the assignment to construct a lesson plan for 3D Shapes to teach to my 1st grade class. I started by constructing a lesson plan based on the Madison Hunter template shown below. Monday:In my lesson plan, I started by completing a outlook for the day with different activities to do. Turns out my teacher thought my lesson was so detailed and long that instead teaching for one day, she is have me teach for the whole week of Feb. 13-16. I am planning on starting off Monday with anchor charts based on the three below. Anchor charts help me to teach the kids while they learn visually. The kids can help to add the shapes to the first 2-D and 3-D anchor chart and they begin to learn what edges, vertices, and faces are and look like. After they do that they will go to their desks and independently work in their math work books in the Geometry section. This will help them to practice identifying the different 3-D shapes and naming the number of vertices, edges, and faces that each shape possesses. Tuesday:For Tuesday, I planned to put the kids into pairs and each pair will have a piece of construction paper and will be able to organize it in some way where they can put different examples from each shape on their paper or we will give each pair one shape and ask them to find picture examples based on that shape like the one in the picture shown above. The descriptions on the left are for the students to use to title their different sections or they shape in general. After that they can watch the video/song on 3-D shapes and glue the poem that I found (pictured below) in their math journals while reading it. Wednesday:For Wednesday, I have planned to bring different treats, like the ones above, and putting them into a bag. The students will each get a bag and have to sort the treats into the different shapes and write the name, draw what it looks like, and describe what makes them different. The students then can eat the food. After that, the students can fill out worksheets such as the ones below. Thursday:On Thursday, I am going to have the students create these shape monsters. I will provide them with the supplies and shapes and all they have to do is cut them out, make the arms, fill out the sheet and attach it, and make them cute! This can help to teach the students faces and vertices while making it fun at the same time! After that the students finish that they can work on more worksheets until everyone is finished and then we will play a game.
