The Past Week

This past week in the field was interesting as I learned that two of Mr. Munson's students had been placed into the special education program at Bingham elementary. I knew about one of the students possibly being placed in the program as he was being tested a couple of weeks ago, but did not know that another student was being placed in the the program. The student that I knew was being tested is one that I help a lot on a weekly basis on almost every activity that he does. Whenever they are working on individual work, he comes over to get me to help him on his assignment. Even when I help him, he seems very unmotivated to do his work. Still, I am not surprised to see him in special needs because of the struggles that he has in multiple areas. When I talked to Mr. Munson about what will happen now, he told me that the student will be out of the classroom and in a different one for about 3 hours each day, working on mainly literacy and math during that time he is gone. These are the two areas that I have mainly seen him work in, and I definitely agree that he needs extra help and attention in his work. I look forward to seeing if he improves in these areas at all over the final couple of weeks.
