As many teachers have this summer, I've spent a lot of 'in-service' time on Pinterest, the Internet and supply stores. I have spent many hours looking and too much money (shhhh, don't tell my hubby) buying things to better my classroom- for me and the students. Since I teach children with special needs ages 3-5, I find it difficult to find things that apply to their developmental levels.When our classrooms vary from typically developing, autism and it's many spectrums, Down Syndrome, language delays, speech delays, physical delays, Cerebral Palsy, and countless other BEAUTIFUL children, it is hard to find resources. Don't get me wrong, I have found some great ones, but not as many as I thought would be out there. I thought this blog may be a great way for fellow Developmental Preschool/Special Education Preschool (however you are titled) to share ideas and create a community of teachers learning from each other. I will post things that I am doing in my room and ask questions to other teachers so PLEASE contribute to this board!
Mrs. Trish's Garden. I teach Developmental Preschool. The children in my class have varied developmental delays and special needs and are 3-5 years old. WHY BLOG: I have found that there are few sites that address the needs of Early Childhood Special Education. I would like to share my experiences and hope others share with me. Education: Early Childhood Education and my Masters in Early Childhood Special Education. I have taken extensive coursework and training in Behavior Analysis.
