My New Classroom & My Teachers
Learning with Mrs. Moore, Mrs. Smith, Ms. Tosches, and my Talker!
Stays The Same
Mrs. Moore
Mrs. Moore is still my teacher! I will still see Mrs. Moore for:
Homeroom & Morning Check-in
Science Class
Mrs. Moore is always glad to see me in our homeroom.
New Classroom
Mrs. Smith
I will stop seeing my old teachers for Math and ELA. Now I go to Mrs. Smith's new room for:
Math Class
ELA (Reading & Writing)
Mrs. Smith has a desk ready for me and is excited to teach me!
Always By My Side
Ms. Tosches Stays With Me All Day!
I am never alone during this change. Ms. Tosches stays right with me. When it is time for Math or ELA, Ms. Tosches walks with me down the hall to Mrs. Smith's room. She sits right beside me, helps me with my work, and keeps me safe and comfortable.
My Voice
My Talker Goes With Me Everywhere
My talker is my voice. My talker comes with me to Mrs. Smith's room. Mrs. Smith and Ms. Tosches love to listen to my talker! I can push buttons to say hello, answer math problems, tell what I think, or let them know what I need.
