Pinnacle Semester 2 presentation


Student Work samples, videos and lesson activities

Fun Food Friday- This is a link to the document that my older students typed into. They have an opportunity to try new foods that they would not normally try.  They have tried Mac and cheese with different sauces, Belgian waffles, kiwi, strawberries, blueberries, bananas, chicken nuggets with different dipping sauces, pizza, tacos, fruit smoothies, Italian ice, and rice krispy treats.This is part of a lesson with the speech pathologist. 

Exercise video: The exercise video taken could not be uploaded due to technical issues and also privacy issues because of student disabilities. However, you will find a link to the Youtube video that we used to teach imitation skills to our students. Students were encouraged to participate in exercise by watching and imitating children from the Wii Just Dance Kids videos found on Youtube. Not only does this help when recess is not a viable option due to weather constraints but it also helps our students become aware that there is other people in and around them. This is a HUGE issue because most students with Autism are described as " being in their own little world." Having my students watch the video and then try to participate is very rewarding to see.
