Exam 1

Does anyone know what chapter talks about children communicating at home but having problems at school? I can't seem to find it.

Does anyone know if the reading response is due Monday?

Syntax & Semantics

Hey everyone! I'm still a little confused about syntax and semantics. Could someone give me an example of each to clarify a little more? I would greatly appreciate it!

Morpheme Mastery

So after class I was still a little confused about morphemes. I found this online and thought it was a great explanation. It has no sound, but it did help. Just thought I'd share.

Reading Response

Has anyone started their reading response? It's due on February 20th. The links for the scoring guides and the format guides aren't working. Can anyone else see them?

Very confused!

After the activity on 2/6, I found myself to be a little confused. Can anyone help me out here as far as what the order is for the process of speech? I'm not sure with which comes first =/

Funny video of babies "talking"

While we were watching all of the videos tonight in class I kept remembering this video and thought I would share it. I hope you all think it is as funny as I did, and kind of interesting to actually wonder if they know what they are communicating!

This discovery could become incorporated into the everyday lives of our future students!

Curious?

I know I'm older than most in the class, I know I've lived in every area of the United States, I also know that any good dictionary supplies the phonetic breakdown of the words in the language. When growing up, from preschool through the fifth grade, a huge 10 to 12 inch thick dictionary was present in the classroom and required to be used by the students. We expanded our vocabulary and picked extra spelling words. The question becomes; why don't todays teachers review the successes of the past, research the methods, include them in best practice, and include them in the classroom.

had to share!

I love this! Many people only see the disability when they meet a child with special needs, but need to realize that there is so much more to the child than that.

I love this video. The little boy speaking amazes me! I think it is great that we have schools dedicated to teaching these kids how to communicate with methods other than ASL. http://youtu.be/XcgIbrzbKW8

Phonemic Awareness

I had a lot of fun writing our names with phonemes last class, so I decided to do a bit more research on it. This is an article I found about how important phonemic awareness is in kids. It also gives you some fun activities to perform with kids.

Hi my name is Sarah Grace. I am a special education major, with a certificate in  5-9 sciences. I am very excited about taking this course. I changed my major this year from nuclear engineering when I discovered that I really enjoy teaching. I teach children to show dogs, which is my other love. I have showed dogs since I was 4. Now, I want to take my love for teaching into a classroom.
