Lunch

My class eats lunch in the cafeteria. The teacher and paraprofessionals supervise and assist the students in eating their lunch. Some students require hand-over-hand assistance and others only need verbal and physical prompts.

Information about Mrs. Brannan's Class

Mrs. Brannan's classroom varies from year to year according to the type of students. My classroom schedule is determined by IEP goals and PreK Program Content Standards. Some students require maximum hand-over-hand assistance where other students require only minimum assistance. The classroom schedule uses words, Mayer Johnson pictures and student pictures.

Class Rules

Following teacher directions Keep hands and feet to yourself small voices inside/tall voices on the playground work together/don't fight These are reviewed each day at morning circle along with visual Mayer Johnson pictures and words.
