Notes:
Diversity. Our students with learning difficulties will take part in every activity with an specific adaptation, depending on their difficulties. Some of these adaptations will be: have a classmate as a tutor, lots of visual support, do the activities orally instead of written activities, with lots of short and clear instrutions. They will also have more time to finish the activities To solve any difficult situation our kids will be in groups of four in heterogeneous groups, where they will help each other to do the tasks.
