Behavioral Plans

I hope everyone is having a great summer! I have been very busy lately with work, my grad school summer class, and nannying! The past two weeks have been really enlightening and so rewarding. I have been working one-on-one with one of the children in my classroom starting to implement a behavioral program that will help be able to function a lot better and more successfully in the classroom. I am very excited about this and have been compiling lists of behaviors that I hope to change with this child. It has been so amazing to see all this children grow and work toward their learning and social goals. The summer schedule is going amazingly. This past Friday we went to a pool with all of the children, and we are also going this Friday. So the blog I wrote would not post and I decided to edit this one. We went swimming yesterday and it was truly an amazing experience. I was with all five of the kids alone in the pool for most of the time, so I truly learned how hard it can sometimes be to be in charge of so many children, especially ones with special needs. It was really exciting to help them work on their swimming skills and work on their overall sensory issues with being in water.

I am loving spending time with these children this summer and really excited to watch them grown as we do countless activities. My science lessons have been going really well and the students have been responding to them with a thrive to learn and they are trying their hardest. This week we made lava lamps, fireworks in a glass, did tie-dye with Sharpies and rubbing alcohol and overall just had a really good time. I think it is very important for these children to partake in a variety of activities that they can really enjoy and understand.
