Life in intervention has been busy this winter!

f  In intervention, we have jobs like the coffee cart where we count money and work on social skills and independence.

Olin has taken over as our drink count helper and does a great job adding all the drink orders for the entire school!

Our 4th graders utilize the quiet space the intervention room provides to work on their classroom assignments while having direct support when they need extra help.  Rapunzel enjoys sitting on the peanut while Omari prefers the wheelie desk.

On Fridays after enrichments, Carter, Kaleb, Omari, and Kennedi work on reading comprehension, social skills, and good sportsmanship through board games.

Life in the intervention room has been quite busy in the past few weeks. We’ve been working hard on our math problem-solving skills, reading comprehension skills, and task management skills. Check out some pictures below of some of the things we’ve been up to. Enjoy your Fall break!

Having a quiet environment helped these students complete their assignments.

Gannon uses an audiobook on CD while following along in the book. He’s reading “Wonder.”  This boosts his comprehension and models good fluency.

I had the pleasure of taking some of our students to Raemelton for their horse riding. therapy.

On Wednesdays and Fridays, I get to have recess with our oldest students.  We have great conversations!

Between 9 and 10, you’ll see between 2-6 students working on various tasks.  Sometimes, the students need a quiet space to work or use speech-to-text.  Other times, they need direct instruction and reteaching from me.

These two 2nd graders love playing reading comprehension board games with me.  They love it when they win!

We’ve been busy learning in the intervention room.  We continue to understand what we need to be successful in school.  Having flexible seating options helps a lot of us learn and work.  The intervention room can be a quiet, peaceful place to reset after being frustrated or upset.  It’s also a perfect environment to get that extra understanding of an assignment. In the intervention room, we enjoy various activities, including sensory toys, math and reading games, and classic board games. We also have our new Infiniti Game Table, which helps us develop communication and cooperative play skills in a fun and engaging way. Check out some pics from the past few weeks.

The wheelie desks are very popular

I love it when Mrs. Velma and I get to play games, too!

Most mornings, you can find a barista with Mrs. Velma delivering coffee and tea to staff while Nick and I gather the school-wide drink orders.  These activities help our students strengthen their counting skills while also improving their communication with both adults and peers.

Welcome back, Wolfpack! We’re back and ready to learn for the 2024-25 school year!

As you can see, we’ve been very busy in the world of Intervention at Discovery. Our students are utilizing their tools and flexible seating options to continue their learning. Have a space where they can just be for a few minutes is sometimes all we need.

We came back from fall break ready to continue learning!

This short week was filled with lots of awesome moments. We worked up until the last minute! Enjoy our well-deserved break!

This year is going so quickly! Hard to believe it’s already October. Fall break is coming up (October 6-10).

Check out our students being principled, open-minded inquirers.

Tic-tac-toe on horseback is 10 times better than on paper.

We have been enjoying our year so far. Raemelton still provides us a great learning experience.

We’ve also been working hard in the intervention room as well as the classroom. Our students are definitely showing their IB learner profile traits of caring, open-minded, inquiring communicators!
