Atención a la diversidad

In this classroom, there are three students with special needs. One of them has a curricular adaptation, as he does not manage to achieve his classmates’ level. Thus he normally works on his books of early childhood whilst his classmates work on Science. The second one is a girl that has motor skills problems and is only able to see with one eye. However, this student does not have a curricular adaptation, but needs continuous support. Finally, the third student with special needs is one fast finisher student.
Thus, we add to this didactic unit some extra activities for these students. For the one with a curricular adaptation we have created two activities in order to make him participate and learn the more important part of the unit when possible. The first activity consists of colouring food in a hand-out. In the second activity, he has to cut healthy food from a magazine and stick it in his notebook. Furthermore, this boy also participates in some of the easiest activities and games proposed for his classmates, in case that the teacher considers it to be appropriate.
On the other hand, the girl with motor skill problems is able to do exactly the same as her classmates. The only issue is that she is easily distracted and he does not see nor move properly. Hence, we have provided the classroom with a digital board so as not to make her move to another classroom to use the ICT’s. On the other hand, she has a continuous support by the teacher and the support teachers as both parts work closely.
Finally, for the fast finisher student, we have one online activity available at the web page http://learnenglishkids.britishcouncil.org/en/word-games/find-the-pairs/fruit (British Council) called “Fruit”. It consists of finding and remembering where the food images and words are hidden and linking each name to its picture. Moreover, the second activity that we have for this fast-finisher student consists of colouring in red the food that comes from animals and in green the food that comes from plants in a hand-out.
