In this ongoing club, we will learn about chat starters, chat topics, ask-backs, and chat endings. We will use these tools as we explore our "chat" topics. Each week, we will have a new theme.

Learners will practice the tools of making small talk and chatting with friends.
I am a former Special Education teacher with experience teaching students with moderate to severe disabilities. I have helped students explore different themes through their conversation and their writing. I am comfortable with various levels of communication. I am a patient and encouraging teacher who wants to create opportunities for students with disabilities to be social and interact with peers at their developmental level. I enjoy seeing the connections students can make with the material and with each other.
