Welcome to the Exceptional Children's Department!
The mission of the EC department is to ensure that all children with disabilities, ages 3 through 21, have available to them a free appropriate public education. The program emphasizes special education and related services designed to meet their unique needs and prepares them for further education, employment, and independent living. This is my second full year at Shive as an Exceptional Children's teacher and have loved every minute working here. This year I have the pleasure of working with first, third and fourth grade students. If you find that you have any questions about your child's IEP, classroom/testing modifications, etc. please do not hesitate to contact me! What's New?! The student's at Shive have been learning all about Larry Bell's "12 Words." Students are expected to know how to spell them, know what they mean, and know how to use them when reading answering, and solving problems presented in a text. Larry Bell's 12 Words to EOG Success! 1. Trace= to outline 2. Analyze=break it down 3. Infer=read between the lines 4. Evaluate= to judge 5. Formulate=build to create 6. Describe=tell all about it 7. Support=back it up 8. Explain=tell me why 9. Summarize=the short version 10. Compare=things that are alike 11. Contrast=things that are different 12. Predict=think about the future *Ask your child to show you the motions! Lots of fun!! ____________________________________________________________________________ Larry Bell's UNRAVVEL Reading Strategy Your child is learning how to take a reading selection (analyze it--break it down) and answer questions by using the following easy steps. If each child learns how to do it and use it correctly, then reading and answering questions will be a breeze!! We'll all make 100% on the EOG tests! Please encourage your child to use the same steps at home when reading a selection and answering questions. UNRAAVEL for Reading 1. Underline the title 2. Now predict what the selection is about 3. Run through and number the paragraphs 4. Are you reading the questions? 5. Are the important words circled? 6. Venture through the selection--READ IT 7. Eliminate/cross out the silly/wrong answers 8. Let the questions be answered and write the paragraph number and line number where you found the answers next to the question __________________________________________________________________________ Mark Your Calendars!
