With the beginning of a new school year, I look forward to sharing new multisensory science activities that embed other academic and communication areas with my students!

Our class already has opportunities to meet students from the general education classes at the beginning of the year. As we build on these initial relationships, we will be carrying out some of the Kenan lessons in an inclusive setting. I look forward to sharing the multimodal teaching ideas with the general education classes through these lessons.

As we begin each unit topic from the Extended Content Standards, I plan to create video snippets for the parents to watch through Edmodo. I hope to help the parents understand a little more about how we address academics and communication in the classroom. I would love to have them use some of those ideas through homework activities. They already complete reading homework assignments.  I would love to take the home/school relationship to a new level of skill building for the students. This will hopefully help with generalization of the skills concepts.

With having some new students in my class this year, it always take a little time to find the most effective individualized communication methods. The new multisensory adapted lessons will simplify the job of adapting activities for new students.  Some ideas may need to be tweaked a little as we go along.

I look forward to sharing the many rich, educationally relevant ideas through the upcoming year. I feel refreshed and ready to bring it to the next level!
