My Kid Has Trouble With Reading--What Should I Do? Special Education Tweets of the Day 8/18/12

Word families that sound alike--see and hear them.
There are many reasons a child may have trouble with reading. Make sure your teachers include all methods of learning to read, including systematic decoding skills and practice.  Now let's look at some of the well known difficulties that might be the problem.

1. What Is Dyslexia?
http://www.ncld.org/ld-basics/ld-aamp-language/reading/dyslexia/

2. Definition of Dyxlexia
http://www.mayoclinic.com/health/dyslexia/DS00224/

3. Visual Perceptual Disabilities
http://thelearningcenter.net/visual_perceptual_disabilities 

4. Learning Disabilities in Children

TYPES OF LEARNING DISORDERS AND THEIR SIGNS

http://www.helpguide.org/mental/learning_disabilities.htm 

 Learning disabilities do not mean your child cannot learn, there just may be a need for a different style of learning or reinforcement of learning. In the US, you can request specialized testing from the district of your residence to determine if your child has a learning disability and may qualify for Special Education services.

How Are You Managing (Your Classroom?) Tweets of the Day 8/18/12

Maybe not the first day of school, or even the first week. But you will be tested as the leader of your class. Here's some input to help you develop you own effective style of classroom management.

In general, be consistent and fair. If you find you favor some kids, work extra hard to not show favoritism. If you have kids you are uncomfortable with, get input from colleagues, check with parents. Talk to the kid. Do you have a student with a behavior contract or plan?--check the background and see about setting up a new plan and new hope for the kid and family. Not accustomed to Special Ed. kids being in your class? Check with the Special Ed. teacher. Be open minded. Kids can learn.

Kids are just kids. They adore fairness and consistency. Parents, too.

What do good classroom managers do?
  • They have a set of routines and procedures that they teach students.
  • They maximize the classroom’s physical space to facilitate easy teacher movement and proximity, as well as student movement and transitions.
  • They begin the year with a set of class rules or guidelines that they explicitly teach, monitor, and enforce.
  • They plan well (they don’t wing it).
  • They display "with-it-ness".
  • They deal with interruptions effectively and efficiently.
  • They encourage and nurture a sense of community, respect, and personal relationships.
  • They have a collection of corrective consequences for mild misbehavior.
  • They have a repertoire of options for dealing with discipline problems.
  • They know when to bend the rules and when not to.

It is said that John Lennon wrote this to be schmaltzy and over-the-top syrupy sweet. But Ringo's rendition makes it gentle and kind, like a real lullaby. Maybe because he was singing them to his own children during this time period.

I like this class; the kids look comfy. It's not too OCD.
Back to school--just the beginning of lots of work!

Teacher needs to be comfortable, and organized; then the kids will be, too.

Getting kids involved--great way to learn genres and use their natural curiosity.

Consider the Lilies of the Field...

Wildflowers at Sunset. Stefanie Herzer

 Matthew 6:33-34

The Message (MSG)
 30-33"If God gives such attention to the appearance of wildflowers—most of which are never even seen—don't you think he'll attend to you, take pride in you, do his best for you? What I'm trying to do here is to get you to relax, to not be so preoccupied with getting, so you can respond to God's giving. People who don't know God and the way he works fuss over these things, but you know both God and how he works. Steep your life in God-reality, God-initiative, God-provisions. Don't worry about missing out. You'll find all your everyday human concerns will be met.
 34"Give your entire attention to what God is doing right now, and don't get worked up about what may or may not happen tomorrow. God will help you deal with whatever hard things come up when the time comes.

This is the outline for the article--I'm going to put in my 2 cents (or rubles, or euros, or yen, as the case may be.)

1. "See" the World — At Home

And, of course, there's National Geographic for Kids.

2. Talk It Up

Most communities have ethnically inspired events. For example:

Las Vegas Celtic Gathering and Highland Games 

http://www.lasvegascelticsociety.org/games.html 

In Vegas! And you don't have to be named O'Neill attend.  

Communities have so many fun events--loosen up and attend.

3. Let Music Send a Message

 For example, teachers, if you're teaching "Riki Tiki Tavi," how wonderful to have Indian music for the students.

Where can you find world music? Our friends at NatGeo, for example.

http://worldmusic.nationalgeographic.com/

Here's a link to a page about Ravi Shankar.

4. Spice Up Family Movie Night

And the kids can cook!

http://www.easy-kids-recipes.com/international-recipes.html 

5. Give Gifts of the World

I'd go for silk, and those fun Russian Matryoshka dolls.

6. Dip Into a Foreign Language

Don't forget Google translate just for fun.

7. Set Out to Serve

So many ways to help real people around the world. 

Lots of families who attend church can also talk with missionaries who serve around the world when they come to visit home churches, and participate in their support.

The news about the No Child Left Behind Act indicates that those states still requesting a waiver are not going to be able to go to modify the testing schedule or teacher evaluation very much. The education supervision of Special Education dealing with moderate or severe handicaps appears to be getting more intense from the federal level also.

I'm In Love With Scott Bakula




Oh boy! MzTeachuh and Scott Bakula
That's just my inner schoolgirl talking; she was very twitterpated to meet Scott Bakula. Very thrilled about this opportunity. Scott seems to be the sweet, nice guy he portrayed, like Sam Beckett of Quantum Leap, or the handsome, athletic adventure hero like Captain Jonathon Archer of Enterprise.

So, of course, I cosplay like a Maquis from DS9 who buys weapons from Firefly's Mal Evans and gets a pic taken with Sam Beckett.  Man, that's really nerd talk. If you understood any of that, you are a nerd, just admit it. I am now the envy of lots of lady Baby Boomers everywhere. Even in the Delta Quandrant.

The genre of sci fi has lots of great characters, that actually develop, are layered, and interrelate like a long serious list of folks in the world of  Dickens. Sam Becket of Quantam Leap was one such character. He and Al (Dean Stockwell) dealt with various important universal themes through the venue of time travel and the decisions that must be made to solve the human quandries are actually profound. The character must "put right what once went wrong." The scripts and acting combined humor and drama incredibly well. During the premise of Quantum Leap, Scott Bakula portrayed black people in the pre Civil Rights south, women involved in abusive relationships, a pregnant girl, a mafioso mob singer a la Sinatra who can't remember the words to Volare, and, one of my favorites, a chimpanzee in a test lab. That takes a secure man to wear pampers and scurry like a chimp for an hour long show. The character could not 'leap' through time back to his home unless he solved the problem he has leapt to. Its a little like 'Back to the Future.'

Here is the memorable theme from Quantum Leap:
Quantum Leap Opening Theme 1989-1993
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wOiX5klTe7Q 

So, I got star struck. Now its back to the real world.

Here are some sci fi series that, in my opinion, have interconnected characters and good theme development. These also have youth novels, comics and games spun off.
