Week 7 When i Feel most Disconnected

The times I feel is most disconnected from teaching is usually My six period class. I catch myself struggling to reach them. I think its mainly because they are all classified as special ed and some are severe cases and I am not sure how to reach them. As a culinary teacher I am fearful to put a knife in their hands so me and my para just do a lot of demo and taste learning. I don't know if I  am reaching them all, but I pray I am helping and teaching at least half.
