There are several ELA students in this class; I will allow for more think time and vary vocabulary to suit multiple levels of language. Use of extra visual support and kinesthetic reinforcement will be included. Student A may require use of cube chair to reinforce focus and personal space.

Teacher will informally assess student understanding during SmartBoard activities based on accuracy and number of tries required to attain success. Guided questioning will provide individual formative assessment. All students will take part in a summative assessment on Friday that incorporates all families and identification by sight and sound.
