It's been a while since I've posted on here, and I have many updates to come! I'm currently student teaching in a self-contained Special Education classroom for Kindergarten and 1st grade students. This has been a huge switch from my previous 7th grade setting. The main struggle for me has been adjusting to using simple vocabulary and shorter sentences for the students to understand. I am really enjoying my experience so far and thankful to be with another amazing mentor teacher.
Today, I was surprised with my early graduation present, an iPad! (Yes, I'm currently blogging using my iPad...) I'm overwhelmed with educational apps and possibilities I now have at my fingertips. I'm currently teaching Long vowels in words with the CVCe pattern in my reading group, and opposites in my language group. Below are some FREE apps that I found useful for teaching these subjects!!
Once I use them with the students, I'll come back on and write a review and how the lessons went!
Autism iHelp Opposites - Teaches opposites and has matching game. (1 set free, 3 other sets available for purchase)
Buddy the Bear (Has 4 free games, the rest are available for purchase)
Dog Story Opposites - Tells a story of opposites using dog pictures! Interactive, and comes with a game
Vowel Stories Long Sounds - Gives stories for Long vowel sounds, practice long vowel words, and games.
Phonics: Blends, Digraphs, Long Vowels - Variety of practice for these concepts, specifically a "Magic E" section!
Off to do more app researching!
