Special Education Room

The past Thursday in the field I was able to spend some time in the special education classroom that some of the students in my field classroom go to to work on reading skills. When I was in there, the students mainly partner up with a teacher, parapro, or helper and read with them. I spent about 30 minutes reading with one of the students in my field classroom. It was my first time in a while being in a special education classroom in an elementary school because I usually am in a high school setting because that is what I want to teach. The fact that they only read during this time was a little disappointing to me, I thought more would be taking place to help them. However, I was only there for a short period, so maybe different things take place throughout the day. Also, the kids who were in the classroom needed extra help on reading in order to improve, so it made sense that they were working on these skills.
