About Our Class
-
We are an Early Childhoood Special Education- Self-contained classroom that runs for 2.5 hours. We have 8 students. Shannon Erickson is the classroom teacher, Gail Janssen and Ayanna Loyd are the aides in the classroom. The students in our class are between the ages of 3 and 5. We have a speech pathologist and occupational therapist that also come into our classroom to work with our students. We use the Exploring our World Curriculum that is used in the general education Pre-Kindergarten program. We make adaptations and modifications to this curriculm to meet the needs and interests of our students. We also incorporate extra gross motor, fine motor, and speech activities.
