Communication has been so important so that we can all be on the same page.
And along with communication comes honesty, which may not always be easy for the teacher or the parent, because there may be times where I don't want to share something because I don't want to hurt anybody's feelings or I don't want anybody to feel bad about something that's happened.
But the only way that
we can do what's best for the child and the only way that a child can continue to show growth is if there is honesty about what's going on in the classroom.
Almost I guess nine years, almost ten years.
Yeah, so I teach second grade at Claxton Elementary School, which is in Asheville, North Carolina.
And my school is an inclusion school.
So what that means is that students who are identified as having disabilities or identify as gifted and talented are all included in a general education classroom along with their peers of the same age.
And students are provided with the necessary support or accommodations and modifications needed to best fit their educational needs.
So in my classroom, I have a variety of students who learn in different ways and they all work together and they're with each other for the majority of the school day.
And it's really great to see everyone working together.
and being together and appreciating each other's own unique gifts and talents.
This year I have 20 students, so I'm pretty lucky to have such a small class size.
And in the past, I will typically have about four or five students who are identified as having some type of disability or identified as um learning differently than their peers.
So it can be up to a quarter of the class.
I'm very fortunate that I do have an assistant.
Most second grade classes in my state and I believe across the nation do not have assistants.
Typically, assistants are in kindergarten and sometimes first grade.
So I do have an assistant, which makes a huge difference.
It allows me to provide small group instruction for the majority of the day to really help meet the needs of all my students.
