Learn How to Add With Spongebob & a Special Ed Teacher (Ongoing Class)

What will be taught?
We will study the value of each coin/bill. Students will practice buying different things in our 'pretend store' using dollar bills, including $1, $5, $10, and $20 dollar bills.

What topics will you cover?
The topic for this class is learning about the value of U.S. money and how to buy things using American money. This includes pennies, nickels, dimes, quarters, $1, $5, $10, and $20 dollar bills.

How is your class structured?
I provide a safe classroom environment free from any fighting and/or bullying. Students are encouraged to ask questions as we learn. I also ask students comprehension questions throughout the lesson to make sure they understand the material.

How will you teach?
I teach using power point slides. In this power point lesson, I include interactive games, You Tube videos, songs and story books about coin counting.

What is your teaching style?
As a teacher, I understand that every student learns and thinks differently. That’s why I include interactive games, songs, worksheets  and even short stories about counting coins. I use 'positive reinforcement' to encourage my students using verbal praise, high-fives, rewards and a prize box. Students will also have opportunities to ask questions and interact with the teacher as well as their classmates. I will never have more than six students in a class. I find that students work and learn better in smaller class sizes. 

All students are welcome!
