5 Pinterest Collaborative Boards: Teaching & Education


I must confess that I am now an official Pinterest addict and I have spent more than an hour of my waking day to devote to building content of my awesome Pinterest teacher boards since its inception in November. The great news is that I'm now opening them up for collaboration!
 
What are Pinterest Collaborative Boards? They are actually boards on Pinterest that allow other pinners to pin content on the board. Yes, it's that plain and simple! I believe that I have great colleagues who are also Pinterest users (like YOU!) who would want to share pins centered around teaching and special education. Collaborative boards on Pinterest are a great way to share your information to other teachers and networkers, while also generating great back links to your blog or website.
 
My Pinterest boards are now open, please leave a comment on the latest post and I will certainly add you. Let's start sharing!

Poems by Exceptional Child SHAMIKA B.


I NEED A FRIEND


All by myself I can play game
But I need a friend to come over to my house
All by myself I can do my homework
But I need a friend to help me check it correctly
All by myself I can go outside
But I need a friend to come with me everywhere.


All by myself I can cook
But I need a friend to bake a cake for my mom
All by myself I can go to school
But I need a friend to walk with me on the way
All by myself I can do my hair
But I need a friend to help me do my hair better.

*******************


I USED TO…BUT NOW I…

I used to be a baby
But now I am a kid
I used to be in the 6th grade
But now I am in the 7th grade
I used to be a kitty cat
But now I am a star
I used to be bad
But now I am good
I used to be 4 years old
But now I am 12 years old
I used to be a baby girl
But now I am a big girl
I used to be sleep all the time
But now I don’t anymore
I used to be not so good at jumping ropes
But now I am good at jumping ropes
I used to be not so good in Math
But now I am good in Math

I am Shamika B.


AUTUMN AND FALL

I worry about autumn
I hear the sound of the leaves falling
I see the leaves brown and red
I want to play in the leaves.
I understand everything about autumn
I say I am a nice girl
I dream about fall
I hope to see autumn again
I am a nice girl.




I AM...

I am Shamika
I like to play my game
I wonder where I am going
I hear people playing music and people dancing
I see people playing outside
I want to go home and go to sleep
I am going shopping.

I pretend being a star
I feel good about myself because I am now in Grade 7
I touch a dog and as if it wants to bite
I worry about me going to school my first day
I cry about sad movies
I am going to play with my sister today.

WELCOME SY 2014-2015!

Teachers & parents tell me that this blog is like a "One-Stop-Shop", here's why ---

There are tons of lesson plans, printables, activity sheets and other resources that special education teachers can find in this blog! It's all for you to get the lil ones engaged in their seats and lovin' what they're doin'!

This blog is also our class portal to communicate information about our class, to archive course materials, to publish the course curriculum, syllabus, class rules, lessons, homework assignments, rubrics, and presentations. Yes, everything is in this blog for our students to review our lessons at home!

Parents love the transparency and the ability to access class materials in this blog. It's easy for parents to follow along as my students post their work. This holds true for their psychologists, social workers, general education teachers, and other special ed providers. This is another way for us to collaborate with the Multi-Disciplinary Team members of our students!

This class blog also serves as our students' e-portfolio. Our students collect the work they want to consider highlighting and then publish those that represent their best work. They then reflect on their work as they share them to their parents and teachers for positive comments and feedback. It's very easy for them to look back over their work and see the growth they've accomplished!

We invite you to please leave a message to our students. Beside the tiny envelope just after each entry is the comments link. Your positive feedback will surely encourage our students to do their best in school.

Thank you for visiting our class portal!
