This year is a little girl in my class an interesting combination of strengths and challenges.
She has a good level and good cognitive ability to learn the vocabulary and concepts through incidental learning. She has a strong skills base maternal pre-university (she knows all the letters of the alphabet, large and small, she can count to 15, it can identify 11 colors and 6 most common forms. She knows a lot of beginning consonants an awareness of rhyme In other words, can read the names of all students in the class and read about 10 sight words.)
She is overwhelmed by new experiences and challenges in the transition to new activities (especially if it is in a different location on campus). She still needs support staff to potty training. Her fine motor skills are significantly delayed, and she always support staff to many tasks involving visual motor planning.
We decided to try to address specifically the strength of the region lies in an area that is a big challenge for him while he is still in pre-k. Is going to start going to a common reading and phonetics lesson kindergarten for about 20 minutes a day. Because he is a good cognitive abilities, and he does not need to support staff ready for the big group, Circle K, we're going to try to reconcile the challenge of new experiences. We hope you will become familiar with the construction of nursery, kindergarten, and a wider group of kindergarten students. We also hope that the staff pre-k can not go with him for a short time and then disappear in order to increase the independence and comfort in our kindergarten class.
To help prepare for this, we developed a simple social history (you can download a generic copy here.) Subject to walk in the kindergarten class. She has a copy at home that his family has read it for the last week and there is a copy at the school, staff in the classroom have read with her, too. We are also starting to go to the kindergarten room and have conversations about visits to kindergarten on Monday.
We hope that the layers of support staff and build its strength, begins to feel comfortable and can learn new skills in kindergarten."
I just printed and laminated graphics solution kit and then attached to the side of my desk. They have become a fixture in the classroom. The government has given me the opportunity to hold the solutions in a way that it was easier for my students to follow visually, and also eliminates the need for them to open the kit. Towards the end of the year, many of my current students for the transition to kindergarten, I could be across the room, and only verbally in a hurry to try the solution of the government. I also had two parents who saw us as a solution with class and asked the government to use the graphics at home!
I think the power of board solution or a solution of game (although the concept is changing for you) is that it teaches children the skills to manage their own conflicts. It gives children a measure of control over the resolution of the conflict and does not require an adult to intervene and "fix" the problem. And, ultimately, is what we want ..... Children independently to reach a peaceful solution.
