<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
In summary, I was NOT surprised with our teachers' attitudes, but it was interesting to see their feelings "in black and white." Overall, I feel that our teachers are not prepared professionally to meet the needs of students with autism spectrum disorders (ASD.) I do not think that this is their fault, I just feel we have been inadequately educated on the best ways to make accommodations (both academic and behavior) for these students. How is your faculty educated/trained on issues such as this? Do you feel prepared as a classroom teacher?</div>
<br />
It was also interesting to see that all teachers who took the survey felt that general education students take on a mentoring role toward the child with autism. While this says a lot about our general education students and their character, I can't help but feel like this is not their place to do this. I say that as empathetically as possible. I said in another post that in no way do I feel that students with special needs shouldn't have the opportunity to be in a classroom with their peers. But, again, my concerns for the purpose of this project are to uncover (if any) negative effects of mainstreaming students with autism into the general education classroom for general education students. What are your thoughts? If you presented this same survey to your faculty, how do you think they would respond? I would be interested to hear from school to school how opinions differ (or if they do differ!) Let me know!

Another book that I read while researching mainstreaming autistic students into the general education classroom is called <i>Autism: Advancing on the Spectrum</i>. This was a great book to gain LOTS of information on Autism...and it's a newer book, so there are current practices included--which is great for novice and experienced teachers.</div>

<br />
Let me give you a little background on my research project in order for you to more fully understand the dimensions of the project. Initially, I wanted to gauge teachers' views on mainstreaming students with autism into their general education classroom. I knew how I felt about it, but I wanted to see how others teachers felt in regard to their general education students. With classroom sizes becoming bigger each year, it is difficult enough to keep all students engaged, meet each child's needs, and deal with any discipline issues that arise. Mainstream a student with autism into that classroom...WHEW! <br />
<br />
Saying that, I want to say this. In no way am I implying that I am not sympathetic to the behaviors that come with autistic spectrum disorders. I am also definitely not saying that I don't believe ALL students should have the chance to be in a classroom with their peers. I am simply speaking as a general education teacher and as an advocate for those "average" students who (let's face it) sometimes get pushed aside to deal with students with special needs. We (and I am guilty as well) get so involved in making accommodations that we often forget about the "sea" of students waiting for our attention as well. THAT breaks my heart for those students. I'm not sure that we are heading in the right direction in regard to EVERY student involved.<br />
<br />
We have tons of laws and regulations safeguarding the rights of students with special needs, but when are we going to stand up for all of those other students who want to learn? And who is going to do it? That was the basis for my research.<br />
<br />
In my next post, I will share a Prezi presentation on information from this book that will help you understand more about the Autism Spectrum Disorders. I will also present some data that I collected from my faculty about their attitudes' toward mainstreaming students with autism into the general education classroom.Mindy Huttonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08286932835104156640noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4935451660923082869.post-2393056888918016982013-03-14T11:56:00.000-07:002013-04-03T10:19:21.930-07:00The Birds and the Bees, Bullies and Other Things<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

This book was one of two I chose to read as a supplement to a project I am researching in graduate school.<br />
<br />
This was a pretty good read.<br />
<br />
If you haven't read this, and you have ever had a student in your classroom who was autistic, you should at least grab this book, and skim over it.<br />
<br />
Here is a quick summary of the book provided by Amazon.com:<br />
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: verdana, arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">Jack Gunthridge is known for his books. What his fans don't know is that he grew up not realizing he had a high functioning form of autism known as Asperger's Syndrome.</span><br />
<br style="background-color: white; font-family: verdana, arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;" />
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: verdana, arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">This is a collection of his memories of trying to figure out members of the opposite sex while having a condition that made it harder for him to interact in social situations. Sometimes his awkwardness caused him to be the target of bullies.</span><br />
<br style="background-color: white; font-family: verdana, arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;" />
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: verdana, arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">He offers his opinion and advice on how he dealt with these issues. He's hoping it helps other teenagers going through similar situations. He also talks about how he came to terms with his own autism diagnosis.</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: verdana, arial, helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">While this book talks a lot about the author's experiences as an adult with members of the opposite sex, it does give some insight into how Asperger's has affected his life. It was interesting to see things from "his eyes." </span></span><br />
<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">I know, as a teacher, it is easy to get frustrated or irritated with students who are autistic because they think differently than an average child does--they have behaviors that we might consider abnormal, and they tend to not "fit in" as well with their peers. I like this book for that reason...the author describes it as, "In a world where they are getting made fun of for being themselves, it makes it worse for them to have people be afraid of them..." "They can already be isolated from the majority of their classmates for being different. They want friends and to be accepted." Instead of educate bullies like schools are doing, Gunthridge suggests that we "actually need to do something totally crazy and reach out to the people who are different and let them know that we accept them."</span></span><br />
<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">This was insightful to hear as a general education teacher.</span></span>Mindy Huttonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08286932835104156640noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4935451660923082869.post-18355735247472972242012-09-16T17:20:00.003-07:002012-09-16T17:20:55.850-07:00Tech Tuesdays: iPads in the Classroom<span style="color: #134f5c; font-size: large;">Tuesday, I had the opportunity to present for my faculty in my first session of "Tech Tuesdays." You know, it's funny, because I used to HATE presenting and speaking in front of people. But, now...I actually enjoy it! I feel like I have found a little niche for myself. I have always known I wanted to work with curriculum, and presenting on different topics seems to be something that I really like! Anyway, I promised everyone that I would put the resources I shared here...so here they are! ;) </span><br />
<span style="color: #134f5c; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #134f5c; font-size: large;">My idea was to USE various presentation apps to share a variety of content area apps that we can all use in our classrooms.</span><br />
<span style="color: #134f5c; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #134f5c; font-size: large;">I began the session with this video I made of the 21st Century Classrooms at our school. I'm so proud to be a part of this! ;)</span><br />

<span style="color: #134f5c; font-size: large;">For the slide titled "A Whole Class Set," I used the <a href="http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/nearpod-teacher/id523540409?mt=8" target="_blank">Nearpod Teacher app</a> and asked my participants to download the <a href="http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/nearpod-student/id480295574?mt=8" target="_blank">Nearpod Student app</a> on their iPads. Love this app--check it out if you are not familiar with it! </span><br />

<span style="color: #134f5c; font-size: large;">The next portion of the training was "30 apps in 30 minutes..." Here is a link to some of the apps I shared, organized by content:</span><br />

<span style="color: #134f5c; font-size: large;">I'm already looking forward to next month's Tech Tuesday!!</span><br />
<span style="color: #134f5c; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #134f5c; font-size: large;">Also, a little note...I haven't posted much lately, but I <u>finally</u> feel like I'm getting back into the swing of things. Look for another post in the next couple of days! 'Til then!</span>Mindy Huttonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08286932835104156640noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4935451660923082869.post-17529394716683360922012-08-20T17:19:00.001-07:002012-08-20T17:19:33.641-07:00Progress??<span style="background-color: white;">Well, it's taken me a lot longer than expected to get my room somewhat in order. I decided to re-paint my shelves and cabinets and do some other "unplanned" projects, but I think it's coming together...FINALLY.</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white;"><br /></span>
<span style="background-color: white;">Here are a few things I've been working on:</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white;">Here are my bulletin boards...my version of a "Proud Wall" where students can display work they are proud of...notice those cute clothespins I dyed earlier with Rit Dye?? And my little owl lantern (that's turned around) I made by spray painting an old one I had, then adding the features using scrapbook paper and hot glue. I will get a better pic of that one soon!</span><br />

<span style="background-color: white;">I will put anchor charts on this one...finally decided I love the scrunchy border. You can find a "how-to" <a href="http://www.peaceloveandfirstgrade.blogspot.com/2012/06/making-scrunchy-border.html" target="_blank">here</a>.</span><br />

<span style="background-color: white;">This bulletin board is right beside the doorway, and I use exit slips as a closing strategy often in my room. I liked the idea of having several different ways to use this strategy without having to take them down, put back up, etc...so this is my "Wonder Wall." </span><br />

I took a break from working in my room the last two days to spend some quality time with my babies...*sighs* Gonna miss you, sweet summertime. We went to the splash pad yesterday with some friends, but it's been too hot to do anything else outside...soooo, we have been having fun inside. Check it out!<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
SMASHING BAKED COTTON BALLS</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
This was so easy and Dax loved it! You will need flour, water, cotton balls, and food coloring. We did green, yellow, and red...Dax's choices. We mixed equal parts of flour and water with just a drop of food coloring in each bowl. Dax loves to mix, so he did this part. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: left;">
Then comes the messy part...Dax's favorite. He dipped the cotton balls in the flour mixture (make sure to coat all sides) and placed them on a baking sheet I lined with wax paper. </div>

After we spread them out a little, I baked them at 300 degrees for about 40 minutes. They get really hard on the outside, but stay fluffy in the middle.</div>

<div style="text-align: left;">
Now the fun part! Take them off the tray and smash away! Dax thought this was great. (Goggles optional!)</div>

<span style="text-align: left;">And this was my project...I keep all of Dax's projects and things that he does at school and at home, but I've been wanting to do something with some of Dax's writing and coloring for a while, and I saw this on <where else?> Pinterest, and thought..."perfect!"</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Here are the writing samples I already had, and I got him to do a few more scribbles for me as well. You'll also need a canvas, paint, scissors (or a craft punch), and modge podge.<br />

I painted the canvas lime green (woo hoo) because I want to put this in my classroom. Then I started punching! I used a 1 1/2 inch circle craft punch to punch out parts of Dax's work that I wanted to include on the canvas. I picked colors of my classroom--blues, yellows, greens, purples. I arranged them on my canvas, then outlined a bit of a pattern with a pencil. I traced over the outline with paint, modge podged the circles on, then put modge podge over the whole thing. I'm so excited about this...I know to you it might look like a lot of circles and scribbles, but to me, I see my sweet baby boy's hard work every time I look at it! :) </div>

I can't wait to get all of my new stuff in here and get it organized. I thought this e-card was fitting hahaha!<br />

<span style="background-color: white;">So, what have I been up to this week, you ask?? Well, between presenting again at UNA and summer Ed.S. classes...</span><br />
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<span style="background-color: white;">Eeeeek...look at this....OH MY....how cute is that??? This is a $3.99 inner tube from Target wrapped in fabric!!! I have to get a little more patterned fabric because I ran out, and I have one other one to wrap. I will use them for seats in my classroom. One word...GENIUS.</span></div>

<span style="background-color: white;">Check this out...taking me forever, but it's one of my favorite things in my room now! It's just fabric cut into strips and tied together with knots (hot glued to my shelving unit, of course.) LOVE.</span><br />

<span style="background-color: white;">Here's my cool "Books We've Read" tree....I just cut it out of black butcher paper, spray Modge-podged (is that a word??) it because I knew it would fade if I didn't, and hot-glued it to the wall...the circles are just scrapbook paper I cut out with my Cricut. I will add the books we read together to the tree throughout the year. I just thought it would be a good visual for my students of all the books they have read in fifth grade...also made a pretty banner to hang in front of the tree...</span><br />

<span style="background-color: white;">And this is another little reading nook....love how it turned out! I wanted a way to separate it from my desk area. The banner says, "The Book Nook." Yep, that's a flat sheet from Wal-Mart...scored that bad boy for $4.97. Needs a little wrinkle-release, I think...</span><br />

<span style="color: #f1c232; font-size: large;">I barely know how to work it, and I am a little obsessed already!! My mind is spinning with ways to use it. This is my first project...I ordered a toolbox from Amazon, then made the pretty labels with my Cricut. Now all of my teacher supplies will be in one spot! Pretty excited about this...y'all know me and organization! ;) </span><br />

<span style="background-color: white; color: #f1c232; font-size: large;">I told y'all I have been making some purchases, and a couple of my most recent ones are these bookshelves. I am sooooo excited about this! For years, I have had two large mismatched bookcases in my classroom, and they are such an eyesore! So, I purchased four of these stacking cubes, and a bench to go in the middle of them...</span></div>

<span style="background-color: white; color: #f1c232; font-size: large;">I recovered the bench cushion that came with the bench. You will soon find out about me (if you don't know already) that I DO NOT sew. Never. I don't do it. I don't even want to learn how to do it. So when I say I recovered the cushion, it means that I used hot glue to do it. :) I can do anything with a hot glue gun that you can do with a sewing machine. You'll see. </span></div>

I have been consumed with presentations and workshops and haven't actually had a chance to relax and hype myself up for next year. After much thought, I have decided to give my classroom a big makeover and change the "theme" (if you will) to blues, greens, and yellows. I'm not much for an actual theme, so a color scheme seems to work better for me. So everything that you see me post that I have made this summer will probably be one of those colors. :) We've been told that we can work in our rooms beginning on the 9th of July, and I'm excited to get in there, rearrange, and gear up for a new year. Here's what I've been up to this week.</span><br />
<span style="color: #6fa8dc; font-size: x-large;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="color: #6fa8dc; font-size: x-large;">These are my cool clothespins that I first dyed with Rit dye, and then hot glued a thumbtack to the back of...I think I will use these for my "Proud Wall," a bulletin board where students can display work that they are proud of from my classroom. Here is the pic I saw on Pinterest. And I even have lots left over that I didn't glue thumbtacks to that I will just use for my clothesline in my room.</span><br />

I ordered a Cricut finally, and I can not wait to get it and play with it! I also ordered this cool pencil sharpener that has rave reviews. If you teach, you know the hassle that is the pencil sharpener...they either break halfway through the year, eat up pencils, or are so deafening that they drive you crazy...hope this one is better!!</span><br />

<span style="color: #674ea7; font-size: large;">I also made this word cloud from <a href="http://www.tagxedo.com/" target="_blank">Tagxedo</a> of some of my students' favorite books. I plan on framing it and hanging it in one of my reading nooks in my classroom. Since this is just a thumbnail, it looks a little blurry...much clearer and bigger when you print it. If you've never used Tagxedo or <a href="http://www.wordle.net/" target="_blank">Wordle</a>, they are both great resources...for you and your kids!!!</span><br />

<span style="color: #f1c232; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: large;">Well, I've been busy all last week working on my Pinterest projects and our presentations this week at UNA. I have managed to complete more than three classroom projects *cheers* and prepare for five, YES FIVE, presentations this week (with Shelly's help, of course!!) I haven't forgotten about my kiddos, though, as we also did some fun projects last week. We've been busy! Here's what we've been up to...</span></blockquote>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #e06666;"><span style="font-size: large;">Projects for my classroom: </span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #e06666;">I can't take credit for these great ideas--you can find links to the original posts <a href="http://huttonfifth210.blogspot.com/2012/06/pinterest-inspired.html" target="_blank">HERE</a>.</span></div>
<br />
<span style="color: #e06666;">This is my "Great Readers" mirror...I am going to face this toward my small group table so that students can see themselves as they are back there with me. Isn't this a fun way to motivate struggling readers? I think I will probably end up adding some kind of border to it.</span><br />

<span style="color: #e06666;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="color: #e06666;">Speaking of small group table...I made these pointers out of popsicle sticks for students to use as they follow along while we read, either in small group, OR I made enough to use during whole group, too! And speaking of popsicle sticks, I made these multiple choice sticks for students to use for quick checks at the small group table.</span><br />

<span style="color: #e06666;">This project is the one I'm most excited about...my good behavior coupon box!! I LOVE this and can't wait to use it. I was tired of buying "treasure chest" stuff for good behavior, and when I saw these coupons for FREE rewards.....I knew I had to have it for my room. I'm going to couple that with the behavior punch card...each child will get a punch card, and when they receive 10 punches, they can choose a good behavior coupon from the box. Soooo excited! </span><br />

<span style="color: #e06666;">Okay, these ice cubes were tha bomb!! I don't know what the obsession was with these, but Dax LOVED them. They are just ice cubes made from water and a drop of food coloring.

The three projects that I will complete this week are:</span><br />

I don't have an excuse right now since it's summer, so here goes. My hope is to post resources and ideas that you can use in your own classroom. I also want to use this blog to network with you all...I want to hear your suggestions and ideas, too! I am always looking for ways to improve my instruction, so hopefully, we can help each other. </span><br />

<span style="color: #e06666; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Since I teach fifth grade reading/language arts, most of my posts will involve those subject areas. But I am not going to limit this blog to just reading and language...it will be all things fifth grade! Hope you can find something to use! Thanks for coming by! :)</span>Mindy Huttonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08286932835104156640noreply@blogger.com0
