General Information:
Our classroom is currently made up of students in grades 1-6. Each student is working towards his or her individual IEP goals. Most of our students are working towards Alabama's Extended Standards. These standards cover Reading, Math, and Science. They consist of skills taken from the regular Alabama Course of Study that have been simplified at 4 different levels for students that are unable to progress in the general curriculum. We work on all reading standards throughout the school year. We focus on one math and one science standard each 6-week grading period with some review. Social Studies, Language, and other subject matter covered are based on each student's IEP and grade level and vary greatly.
We participate weekly in a newspaper designed especially for students with special needs called News-2-You. It has many online and printed activities included, many of which cover our standards.
We also work daily on Occupational Therapy and Speech/Language goals in the classroom.
Reading Extended Standards: (level 3)
Grade 2-Students will isolate initial and final sounds in phonemic tasks, identify all single consonant and vowel sounds, use words that describe and represent real life objects and actions, identify first event in a story read aloud, and read high frequency words.
