Youngsville Elementary School

Students per Class: 15
Class Description:
My classroom is composed of fifteen students grades 3-5, except for one kindergarden student who was placed with me at the parent's request. I serve students with a variety of needs such as reading, writing , math and social skills training. They have various disabilities such as autism, various levels of mental retardation, behavior emotional disabilities , other health impairments and specific learning disabilities. Students remain in the class from as little as 45 minutes to as long as 4 hours.

Needs:
The students in my class ALL learn from hands on and visual learning experiences. By providing them with meaningful reading and writing experiences I believe they will learn additional skills as well as generalize previous skills that have been taught.
