I appreciate the suggestion--that is a good point. <BR/><BR/>I was previously doing MS Sp Ed (6-8th), so this will be a big change. <BR/><BR/>I saw the room again today and took pictures this time. There were a few areas I 'forgot' about that will hamper my plans, such as the 2 water fountains and then computer center. Still, I feel alot better about things. I can't wait!Jenniferhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16495177702649925474noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14251526.post-1151508319650899362006-06-28T10:25:00.000-05:002006-06-28T10:25:00.000-05:00Hi Jen,Found you from the CL board but I've defini...Hi Jen,<BR/><BR/>Found you from the CL board but I've definitely been here before. Congrats on the new job - weren't you teaching special ed high school age before?<BR/><BR/>I was looking through your plan. Sounds great, and I'm totally a "must see it" person as well (I teach K-1 special ed but I taught preschool for several years) and I wanted to offer a comment on one thing that stood out to me. The block area and the dramatic play area are centers that are extremely difficult for children with needs to master. Play skills are such an important area of instruction. I'd hesitate to combine the two, especially as teacher intervention is likely to be needed in teaching those skills. Also, if one child is playing in dramatic play and keeps knocking down someone else's blocks - unneccessary frustration.<BR/><BR/>Again, this was just my thought reading your (otherwise fantastic in a difficult room - concrete?)plan and it may be quite different in real life then you wrote it. Just my 2 cents... feel free to ignore. :)Heatherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05262279480395529846noreply@blogger.com
