Welcome to Room
113!
Teacher: Dana Elkins Paraprofessionals:
Debbie Kalfas & Joyce Donelson
 
 
Hello and Welcome to
SCI 3!!
My name is Dana
Elkins and I am your student’s
classroom teacher. We also have two
paraprofessionals in our room,
Debbie Kalfas and Joyce Donelson.
These ladies are with us five days a
week, all day long so that we may
successfully work on student goals.
Classroom activities vary from day
to day, but the general routine will
remain the same.
We will be working on the following
daily:
Circle Time: Students
identify other classmates by
photograph; attempt to recognize
themselves-“me or I”; and strive to
distinguish between being “at Home
or “at school”.
Circle time also develops “turn
taking” skills. Students are asked
to choose a picture of another
classmate and give that picture to
the appropriate student.
Prevocational Skills: Each
day we will work on tasks such as
matching, sorting, repetition, hand
over hand skills, and classroom jobs
such as passing out placemats or
getting milk. These tasks also meet
our fine motor sensory skills as
well as improve good hand eye
coordination.
Communication: Each child is
encouraged to increase expressive
and receptive communication skills.
We use various modes, such as sign
language, verbal speech, general
verbalizations, pictures, and other
communication devises. Students are
encouraged to respond and request
using one of these modes.
There are many other skills and
activities we work on in the
classroom. These only outline our
main routine as a whole.
Don’t forget about gym, swimming,
speech, occupational and physical
therapy among others!!!!!!
