Focus: Chapter 6

This chapter was even more difficult for me to connect to the work I do with students, especially since one of the times that I take some of the older students at Pioneer for speech is during their science period.  Science and social studies are two of the times that pull out groups can happen since we can't take students during their core instruction time or times like PE, music, library, etc.  So, those students that are pulled for specially designed instruction in reading, writing, math, and speech/language often fall further behind in the other context areas like science.  This is a very hard balance because it is often the subjects like science that help keep some of these students engaged and connected in the classroom.
