Today I spent 12:30 to 2:30 at Wasatch Elementary, and I loved every minute of it! I spent the first hour reading with a students named Beckett, and he was so sweet and funny. After we passed off his reading (which took full hour) we moved on to math. Beckett has dyslexia, and it's extremely hard for him to organize letters and numbers in his mind. Words problems were extremely difficult for him, but we got through several before he had to leave to his regular class. During math time, besides working with Beckett, I worked with two other students named Esther and Eli. It was really exciting working with this small group, and they all had such personalities.
When Beckett left, I went and sat in a class with a down syndrome student named Andrew. He was so sweet, but it was really hard for him to focus, so I ended up taking him back to room 200 to do some homework.
This school is different than schools in earlier periods of history because it offers not only a program for disabled students, but it also offers a chinese program for chinese speaking students.
Overall it was a very fun day!
