I work in a K-5th grade school where one of my classes is an intermediate unit class. The group is comprised of 5 students who are approximately 10 years old. Each of them has a teacher who assists them full time and remains with them in the library. They all use wheelchairs and are non-verbal. They have limited use of their hands. Most of them will make vocal noises and smile in response to things that make them happy. I actually found that they enjoy music. Since they don't meet with the music teacher, I have been giving them bells and other hand held instruments for them to use while I play the guitar. They love this, however, I would like to do more with liturature. I have told stories using puppets and they respond well to the puppets. I was wondering if others have similar classes and what you have found to be successful with these students. I am fairly new at this school and I don't think the previous librarian was very comfortable with these students. My bag of tricks is getting old and I would appreciate any helpful ideas.
