Happy #WorldDownSyndromeDay Today is a day to celebrate some of our greatest teachers-individuals with Down syndrome teach us the most important parts of life: kindness, patience, laughter, fun, friendship. Inclusion still has a long way to go check out https://t.co/6Ue5v05cMZ

New vocabulary station for @n2yinc monthly word study: we have sight words and vocabulary that relate back to our topic. The hands on aspect makes discrete trials engaging and fun! We also have communication boards for our leveled books #MineolaMindset

Love this from @SpEdAdulting. Looking at what a student can do 👌🏻

[Eilis O'Connell @MsOConnell16]

@speech_mms helping us generalize skills by emailing a classmate that moved away earlier this year. So awesome seeing these kiddos get excited about communication and make connections 💫

[Eilis O'Connell @MsOConnell16]

@n2yinc text to speech adaption allows students greater independence and autonomy when reading. This kiddo has true #mineolamindset reading higher level text with symbol support. Peacekeeper report to end the month! 🤟🏻💫

I’ve accepted a challenge from @FuscoMineola to post seven covers of books I enjoy: no explanations. Each time I post a cover, I’ll tag someone else to take up the challenge. One cover a day for a week. My day 2 challenge goes to @MsMiller915

Our Unique #ULS curriculum gives everyone access to writing tasks with picture supports and sentence fill ins. This kiddo filled in all his journal answers 100% independently 🙌🏻 #mineolamindset @MineolaMS

[Eilis O'Connell @MsOConnell16]

Ringing in the new year with some hard work! How can we make concepts that would require years for mastery accessible to all? By giving our kiddos the tools they need to succeed! Thanks to our tech savvy school we have calculators at each students fingertips #mineolamindset

[Eilis O'Connell @MsOConnell16]

Our Peer mentor pancake party was a success with our fab entertainment! Thank you @FrazerKristin for your wonderful work with the kiddos. Happy Holidays❄️
