Based on "Brown Bear, Brown Bear, What Do You See?" by Bill Martin, Jr., the Kindergarten classes at Stockbridge Valley CSD in Munnsville, NY created their own books during Library.
1) The document discusses the legal standards for determining eligibility for special education services under IDEA and California law. To be eligible, a student must have a qualifying disability and require special education as a result.
2) It examines what constitutes "special education", including the requirement for "specially designed instruction" to meet a student's unique needs. Case examples explore what types of support have been considered special education versus general education accommodations.
3) Through several case examples, it illustrates how courts and administrative hearings officers have analyzed whether students' needs could be met through general education or required special education, focusing on disability categories including autism, emotional disturbance, orthopedic impairment, and other health impairment.
This document discusses the role of play in supporting children's development. It explains that play is crucial for social, emotional, physical, intellectual, communication, and language development. Several examples are provided of how different types of play activities can support these areas of development, including role play, books, songs, and creative activities for language/communication, and puzzles and construction for intellectual development. The document also notes that adults should model positive behaviors and interactions to support children's social and emotional skills during play.
The document discusses effective teaching styles for asynchronous online classrooms. It outlines Grasha's five teaching styles - expert, formal authority, personal model, facilitator, and delegator. While no single style is most effective, research shows that providing timely feedback, engaging activities, motivation, student interaction, and critical thinking are key behaviors of effective online teachers. The document provides examples of facilitating discussions and assigning student roles to encourage participation.
This mini lesson contains two parts. The first part is the history of American Sign Language. The second is learning the formation of the Manual Alphabet of American Sign Language.

GAME ON! Integrating Games and Simulations in the Classroom
It is estimated that by the time that today’s youth enters adulthood that they will have played an average of 10,000 hours of video games. By playing games, research suggests that they have developed abilities related to creativity, collaboration, and critical thinking. Come explore the history of games and simulations in the classroom and investigate ways that current games and simulations in digital and non-digital formats can be meaningfully and purposefully integrated into your learning environment.

The document discusses the benefits of exercise for mental health. Regular physical activity can help reduce anxiety and depression and improve mood and cognitive function. Exercise causes chemical changes in the brain that may help protect against mental illness and improve symptoms for those who already suffer from conditions like anxiety and depression.

The document discusses the benefits of exercise for mental health. Regular physical activity can help reduce anxiety and depression and improve mood and cognitive functioning. Exercise boosts blood flow, releases endorphins, and promotes changes in the brain which help regulate emotions and stress levels.
Stockbridge Valley CSD Kindergarten students listened to Eric Carle's "The Very Hungry Caterpillar," then we created our own "Very Hungry" books in groups in Library class.
