Lesson 11

I love this class because it is so applicable in life.  This week we talked a lot about poverty.  I am glad we take a whole week worth of classes to talk about it because it is a very prominent issue, but it is kind of kept in the corners, away from sight.

It is so vitally important that we, as teachers and advocates for children are aware of what these children are going through and what we can do to help them.  Lately in class we have talked a lot about accommodations.  There are many accommodations that need to be made for children, but they are not limited to children with disabilities.  Children living in poverty are commonly more delayed in their learning and speech.  These are things to take into consideration.
