Introduction This guide is a condensed compilation of ideas, strategies, tools, and resources to enable

the Polk County Schools Pre-Kindergarten ESE Teacher to increase the participation of

students who are functioning significantly below other students in the self-contained

classroom. These students often have lower interactive participation with other peers

and adults due to significant cognitive delays, multi-sensory delays, and/or physical

limitations. It is my hope that a quick guide to the school day routine will assist in

planning and increasing skills/goal mastery for these students and enhance the classroom

culture.

We welcome more ideas to share with our classrooms! If you have an activity or strategy

that has worked for you with a specific student or group of students, please share it with

me at [email protected]. I will be sure to send it out to everyone!

See you in your classrooms!

“Self-motivation will flow out of a desire that resides deep in the heart of a child. It is worth everything to

help him find that desire, and then give him the freedom to go for it.”

The Learning Environment

Setting up the classroom and materials

for various needs...

-Place mats or carpets to let students know there are changes in areas.

-Place tactile labels in areas to identify parts of the classroom.

-Provide a space for equipment (wheelchair, stander, cube chair, walker, etc.).

-Provide consistent aisles for traffic patterns (no jam zones).

-Integrate special equipment into areas/centers that are accessible to students when they need them.

-Use picture and word labels, photos, PECS, textured word labels to help students know where

materials are located.

-Cover or turn over Daily Routine pictures to indicate when parts of the day are finished and students can know what comes next. Be consistent with the Daily Routine.

-Use Velcro or built up handles (foam pvc pipe covers can be found at Lowes or Home Depot to create handles).

-Define area/center boundaries. Increase/decrease space when needed.

-Provide soft building toys in the block area/center

-Rotate and provide materials when students are developmentally ready for them.

-Sensory tables (rice, beans, noodles, sand, water).

-Attach Velcro, clamps, duct tape to materials to furniture for students.

-Use Transition Songs to provide consistency and help in moving from one activity to another.

-Set up a Safe Place using cushions, pillows, books, sensory materials.

Please Remember :

Only put developmentally appropriate items/displays on the walls and only at children's levels. This would include items that are used daily/weekly in the routine of the classroom; student work; pictures and vocabulary that are relevant to the classroom areas/centers; pictures of the children and/or their families. Things that are not developmentally appropriate would be the Alphabet that you would buy at an educational site and themed décor that are used for room decorations. Make sure you get on the child’s level and look around to see what is relevant and meaningful to them and you can let them help make the room awesome! More significantly delayed students could respond to pictures from home of their families, pictures of themselves, and pictures of pets.

Activities Sample activities for students

Page 36: Me Too!!! Publication3 (3)

Activity: Shape sorting

Materials: tunnel, shapes, containers for shapes to be sorted into

Description:

Set up the tunnel. You can use any large motor activity you choose to. (ex: spots to jump on, rope to jump over, chair to go under)

Place the shapes on the floor on one side of the tunnel.

Place the containers for the shapes to be sorted into on the other side of the tunnel.

The teacher will sit on the side of the tunnel where the containers for the shapes to sort them are located. If possible, have the para sit on the side where the shapes are located to help the children.

Each child will pick one shape, go into the tunnel, and tell the teacher the shape. The child will place the shape into the correct container and then sit down. For the children who need a smaller field, I will give the student two con-tainers to choose from instead of all the containers. As a child is going through tunnel, I will call the next student to go pick a shape. This will help the activity move along and less wait time for the children.

This activity could be done with a variety of manipulatives. I have used also stringing beads, building with unifix cubes, Legos, throwing letter bean bags, etc.

Activity: Colors (label/identify, match)

Materials: Various colors of bean bags, basket or bucket, colored mats, picture cards with colors & name of color

Objective/IEP Goal options: 1. When presented with a set of [#] objects of various colors (list colors), _____ will match at least [#] of the re-

quested colors in __ out of __scheduled trials, as measured by [tracking form, checklist, anecdotal notes/records].

2. When presented with a set of [#] objects of various colors [list colors], _____ will [point to or select] at least [#]

of the requested colors in __ out of __ scheduled trials, as measured by [tracking form, checklist, anecdotal notes/records].

3. When presented with a set of [#] objects of various colors (list colors), _____ will verbally name at least [#] of the requested colors in __ out of __scheduled trials, as measured by [tracking form, checklist, anecdotal notes/records].

Arrangement of Space: Students will be on the large group carpet with the teacher. If needed, the class can be

split into two groups, one with the teacher and one with the para. Adaptive equipment: bean bag chair, rocking

chair, cube chair, tumble form floor sitter.

Strategies: This activity can be varied from student to student depending on their developmental level and IEP

goals. A student who is cognitively delayed may only be offered a choice of bean bag to toss into the basket, use

pictures to match with bean bag, hand over hand, eye gaze choices, Big Mack for choices.

Instructions:

1. Arrange students on floor with adult in a circle with a basket or bucket in the middle of the rug.

2. Give each student a bean bag to hold.

3. Teacher holds up a card and ask “Who has _______________?”

4. Students with that color will toss their bean bag into the basket/bucket.

5. Students who require more assistance will be shown a card or another bean bag of the same color to match to.

If possible, they may be offered two different colors to choose from by pointing, using eye gaze, or pictures. If

the student is only able to throw their bean bag (with or without assistance) into the basket/bucket, that is a

good starting point to scaffold from. You can also use color mats for the student to match the bean bag to.

6. When all of the bean bags are in the basket/bucket, empty it out and redistribute them again to the students

to do the activity again.

7. Take data for students according to their IEP goals for evaluation purposes. (See Pre-K Math Checklist attached)

Prekindergarten InD Lesson Plan Explanation

ESOL strategies will be used for children potentially identified as English Language Learners based on the Home Language

Survey. The ESOL strategies in Appendix D-2 will be included in the daily lesson plans with the names of potential English

Language Learners.

ESOL Strategies throughout the day: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 9, 13, 19 and The High Scope Adult/Child Interaction Strategies

English Language Learners ____________________________________________________________________

Greeting Time: Adults and students gather in the Gathering Place. Adults lead the children in greeting one

another, building attachment with I Love You Rituals, singing songs, saying rhymes/fingerplays and other oral

language activities using mirrors, props, and other materials. Children participate by looking, listening, touch-

ing, vocalizing, making choices, and using voice output. Greeting activities are at a developmentally appro-

priate level (building a sense of self and attachment with familiar adults rather then calendar activities or pre-

academics).

►Positioning: Children are positioned on or near the floor and adults sit at children’s eye level. Suggested po-

sitions include feeder seat, Rifton corner floor sitter, Rifton toddler chair, boppy pillow.

►Objectives: The children will… 1. Develop sense of time (beginning of day/ transition from home) 2. Listen

and respond to adult voices 3. Make choices and participate in oral language using pictures and voice out-

put 4. Form attachments to primary caregivers 5. Develop a sense of self by seeing themselves in mirrors and

photos

►Adaptations: Pictures/photos, voice output, physical assistance for reaching/grasping, choice boards/

objects

Small Group Time: Each adult interacts with a small group of students using prepared materials. Each adult

introduces activity/materials, then assists and interacts with the children (each in turn if needed). Activities fo-

cus on PROCESS, not PRODUCT. Materials are adapted to match each child’s goals and/or abilities. Children

make choices throughout, build cause/effect understanding and demonstrate purposeful use of voice output

with activity specific messages.

►Positioning: Children are positioned at an appropriate level for the activity (i.e., chairs at the table for finger

painting, standers at the water table for pouring, prone wedge for knocking down a block tower) and adults

meet them at this level.

►Objectives: See lesson plan for activity specific objectives that focus on communication and language, cre-

ative representation, early quantity and number, exploring objects, space and time (see Infant and Toddler

Key Experiences posters).

►Adaptations: Adapted gripping tools, physical assistance, switch activated toys, switch with control unit for

electrical appliances, pictures, voice output, mounting and stabilization of toys and materials, adapted scis-

sors

Large Group Time: Adults lead activities that focus on music and/or movement in the Gathering Place, inside

the Island or outside. Children can be positioned but independent or assisted movement of large and small

muscles is the goal. The focus is on PROCESS, so music/action/directions are paced for student response time.

Materials are used that encourage movement: bubbles, scarves, parachute, blanket, gait trainer, ball bath,

etc. Children participate by standing, rocking, and moving as much as they are physically able as well as vo-

calizing, holding props and turning music on and off with switch.

Children build cause/effect understanding and purposeful use of voice output with activity specific messages.

►Positioning: Children are positioned for movement, suggestions include: facilitated standing/walking/

dancing, gait trainers, walkers.

►Objectives: The children will… 1. Move with and without objects 2. Move to a common beat 3. Listen

and respond to music 4. Experience “fast” and “slow”

►Adaptations: Physical assistance, voice output, switch activated music player

Page 47: Me Too!!! Publication3 (3)

47

Prekindergarten InD Lesson Plan Explanation, page 2

Work Time: Adults position and interact with students in any areas of the room (the Gathering Place, Island, Spa,

computer, ball bath, swing, etc.) and offer choices of play objects/activities using objects, pictures and/or voice

output. Work Time allows children time for independent, less structured exploration, builds cause/effect and other

play skills, allows adults to observe children’s play and make adaptations, and allows for important positioning that

might be difficult during other times of the routine.

►Positioning: Children are positioned at an appropriate level for the activity or area of the room (prone wedge in

the Spa, pulling to stand at the mirror in the Island, supine stander in the book area, etc.)

►Objectives: The children will… 1. Explore sensory and cause/effect materials 2. Express initiative 3. Solve

problems encountered in play 4. Explore objects with the hands, feet, mouth, eyes, ears and nose 5. Explore

building and art materials

►Adaptations: Switches and adapted toys, physical assistance, adult modeling, mounting and stabilization of toys

and materials, computer with switch access or Intellikeys, books with adaptations for page turning

Breakfast/Lunch/Snack Times: Adults position children and use adapted materials to implement self-help goals.

►Positioning: Supportive seating systems such as: Rifton seating system, Rifton toddler chair, Ski chair, other chair

as directed by the child’s physical or occupational therapist.

►Objectives: See individual goals/benchmarks for each child.

►Adaptations: Adapted plates/utensils/cups, Dycem, hand-over-hand, picture choices, voice output

Outside Time: Adults and children experience a variety of activities (movement, small group, sensory, story, etc.) in

an outdoor setting.

►Positioning: Children are positioned for movement or safe outdoor play, suggestions include: facilitated stand-

ing/walking/dancing, gait trainers, walkers, adapted tricycle, adapted swing, wagon, prone on blanket.

►Objectives: The children will… 1. Experience different set of environmental stimuli (breeze, sounds, sun/shade)

2. Move with and without objects 3. Explore and notice locations of objects 4. Experience different speeds and

types of movement

►Adaptations: Physical assistance, supervision to ensure physical safety, adaptations for any materials listed

above

Story Time: Adults share a story/rhyme/finger play/oral language activity with a small group of children. Adults

hold or sit close to children at children’s level and speak in soft, inviting voices. Props, objects, books with simple

pictures or photos of children and familiar adults (including family) are used. Oral language activities that use sim-

ple vocalizations, repeated lines, rhythm and rhyme are chosen. Children participate by listening, making simple

choices, pointing to pictures, joining in using voice output

►Positioning: Positioning is used to promote comfort and attachment as well as visual and physical access to

books/materials. Suggestions include: Feeder seats, boppy pillows, bean bag chairs, in an adult’s lap, supine on

wedge, sidelying, Rifton toddler chair.

►Objectives: The children will… 1. Listen and respond to voices 2. Look at and touch books/materials 3. Point

to pictures 4. Participate in vocal exchanges or use voice output to participate in repeated words/line of the story

5. Build relationships with adults and peers

►Adaptations: Big Books, object books, tactile books, Adapted Stories to Go materials, dycem, Velcro, page fluff-

ers, props/puppets, physical assistance, picture symbols, voice output (single, sequenced or multi-message devic-

es), mounting and stabilizing of books

Closing Time: Children and adults come together for closing of the day’s activities. Adults review (with words and/

or pictures) the events of the day. Adults prepare the children’s bags, including notes home. Adults lead children

in goodbye songs/routines that build attachment.

►Positioning: Children are positioned on or near the floor and adults sit at children’s eye level. Suggested posi-

tions include feeder seat, Rifton corner floor sitter, Rifton toddler chair, boppy pillow.

►Objectives: The children will… 1. Develop sense of time (end of day/transition to home) 2. Listen and respond

to adult voices 3. Form attachments to primary caregivers ►Adaptations: Pictures/photos, voice output, physical

assistance for reaching/grasping, choice boards/objects
