When there is problem behavior, I need to see it as a learning opportunity for the entire classroom, not just a specific student/s. Spending time to implement and review classroom expectations and procedures is vital in order for the classroom to be well managed. It is important to always "Assume the Best" for each student, because letting students know that you are rooting for them might be exactly the motivation they need in order to be the best version of themselves.]]> 2022-09-29 03:19:43 UTC https://padlet.com/amberjones20/752zpbm41se8alsq/wish/2318638018 amberjones20 https://padlet.com/amberjones20/752zpbm41se8alsq/wish/2318639145 2022-09-29 03:20:53 UTC https://padlet.com/amberjones20/752zpbm41se8alsq/wish/2318639145 amberjones20 https://padlet.com/amberjones20/752zpbm41se8alsq/wish/2318651355 2022-09-29 03:33:37 UTC https://padlet.com/amberjones20/752zpbm41se8alsq/wish/2318651355 amberjones20 https://padlet.com/amberjones20/752zpbm41se8alsq/wish/2318655767 Some strategies to promote and incorporate mindfulness activities in the classroom include:
-having the students recognize what stresses them out and being specific
-guided classroom exercises such as breathing activities at the beginning of class 
-nature walks in an area outside on school property ]]> 2022-09-29 03:37:50 UTC https://padlet.com/amberjones20/752zpbm41se8alsq/wish/2318655767 amberjones20 https://padlet.com/amberjones20/752zpbm41se8alsq/wish/2318656488 2022-09-29 03:38:33 UTC https://padlet.com/amberjones20/752zpbm41se8alsq/wish/2318656488 amberjones20 https://padlet.com/amberjones20/752zpbm41se8alsq/wish/2323091591 Below are two example lesson plans for classroom procedures and routines that will be heavily utilized throughout the school year. They explain why they are important as well. ]]> 2022-10-03 03:06:49 UTC https://padlet.com/amberjones20/752zpbm41se8alsq/wish/2323091591 amberjones20 https://padlet.com/amberjones20/752zpbm41se8alsq/wish/2333694812 Attached is my ideal version of a special education classroom. The desks are the ones the middle school has in their science and math classrooms, where the top is a dry erase board and they are easy to move and rearrange depending on the activity. They are also easy to separate, seeing as some students will come in my room to be in a smaller setting or alone. The semi-circle desk is ideal to me to do a small pullout, especially to review a lesson. I feel as though that allows for a more comfortable setting that you do not get in the typical classroom and it puts the students and I on the same level. I would also prefer to have a Promethean board, seeing as it is interactive and can be used in multiple ways. The rug area can be used for students that need to take a break for a few minutes and creates the sense that my room is a safe space. I placed my desk at the back, because when I do have students in my room, I won't be sitting down at my desk, I will be actively doing something alongside them. I currently teach sixth grade inclusion, focusing on math and I believe that this set up would be ideal for when it is necessary to pull students into my classroom.]]> 2022-10-10 14:42:21 UTC https://padlet.com/amberjones20/752zpbm41se8alsq/wish/2333694812 amberjones20 https://padlet.com/amberjones20/752zpbm41se8alsq/wish/2334259387 These four rules were chosen as a base inside of my classroom.
