One Room Schoolhouse (TpT Seller)
I can't wait to use this with my class. I hope it helps them understand why hygiene is so important. I've tried many ways to teach this and I am hoping this way works. Thanks so much!
April 4, 2013
Special Education - Peggy Simpson (TpT Seller)
It is hard to get across to some kids, huh? I created this a couple of years ago because some of my kids w autism had such rigid thinking and their parents weren't much better - meanwhile, we were all passing out in the room from the stench. I made color copies of this and sent it home (to practice) as homework w the parents and that seemed to help everyone "get" it! Don't forget to download the two free "personal hygiene" practice pages-so the kids can practice seeing, hearing and writing down the steps! If you need any additional help, please don't hesitate to email me at jasbv@aol.com. Thanks again for your purchase and taking time to leave positive feedback! Have a sweet smelling day! Peg :8)

So glad it worked for you! When I first found out that I had to teach alg 2 to my special Ed kids I was worried (so I spent hours breaking things down - while keeping it fun and interesting). I'm so glad your class was able to learn this important concept! Thanks for leaving positive feedback and I'm going to post more alg 2 products as soon as I can. Have a great day! Peg :8)

Saw you demonstrate this great packet at Cal State and wanted one. Thanks for letting me know where to buy it. I agree, that many of our students are not anywhere near grade level reading, decoding or comprehension wise and I'll be using this great tool all year every year with my class to know just where they are.
March 26, 2013
Special Education - Peggy Simpson (TpT Seller)
I'm so glad you were able to find this in my store! I'll be demonstrating how to use these this Thursday at our Regional DELAC Meeting (if you have any questions - or, want a peek at the new ones I'll be listing) just email me for the address and time. Thanks again for your detailed feedback and multiple purchases! Peg :8). Jasbv@aol.com

Thank you for your detailed positive feedback. Since I have everyone who didn't make it in other classes (IQs less than 70 and more than 130 with multiple issues and behavior challenges) I have to design everything to s-t-r-e-t-c-h. I hope to get the other parts of this lesson up by the fall (when I teach Antigone) so check back. And, thanks again for your feedback - it is truly appreciated! Peg :8)

This is fantastic. It looks like so much fun and it is complete. I love the way you have each chapter with a complete vocabulary, bingo, graphic organizer and writing assignment and student example for each. This, and the other items I bought here today will keep my special education class active through summer school.

I love this! This will be a great resource for teachers working with students with autism as collaborative group work is one of the things that is really difficult for them. Thanks!
February 19, 2013
Special Education - Peggy Simpson (TpT Seller)
Yes! My classroom has several students with autism and they absolutely "hate" working in groups! I've even had some parents complain that their child is "brilliant" and therefore shouldn't have to work with other, less gifted, children - so that's why I created this. Hope it helps you as much as it helps me and if you need any additional forms, take a look at my "freebies" as there are some "gems" there. Thanks again for the detailed positive feedback and have a wonderful day! Peg :8)

bestspedtutor
This is fascinating. The way that you clearly explain everything (and have it presented with such a clever hook) is going to help me with a couple of the students I tutor. I also like the detailed answers/explanations. Repetition of the same numbers is also going to help my special ed kids to "get" this. Great job.
February 14, 2013
Special Education - Peggy Simpson (TpT Seller)
Thank you for the positive feedback! So many of my students come to me with "math anxiety" so I try to structure lessons in such a way as to be easily understood and hopefully extrapolated/generalized. I have a bunch more higher math lessons that I hope to upload soon - so keep checking back. Thanks again for your feedback and if you need any additional help you can e-mail me at jasbv@aol.com.

autismadvocater
This is complete and kid friendly. I can't wait to use this the next time I teach this. I think the way you address vocabulary and writing for each chapter in a simple (yet very complete and engaging way) will work with my special education students. The extension activities look interesting too. Great job!
February 3, 2013
Special Education - Peggy Simpson (TpT Seller)
Thanks again for your multiple purchases and positive feedback. My class tends to have major meltdowns when we have writing assignments so I try to include short, pertinent writing assignments that have many accommodations to help keep everyone "sane." I know my vocabulary activities take time but the "pay-off" in state testing scores makes it really "worth" it. I'm finishing up another lower grades reading book and will be offering a chapter for "free" if you check back in a few days. You've made my day! Peg :8)
February 3, 2013
autismadvocater
Excellent and a great buy when you consider what each piece would have cost individually. It's kid appealing and seems pretty easy to use. I'm going to use this with a couple of my problem kids next week. I think this will help, however I may have some questions as how to implement the changes that come up from the assessment data so I'll be getting in touch. Again, great job, anything else I looked at for sensory assessment (which wasn't as complete) was over a hundred bucks so I appreciate you offering this at a reasonable price.
February 3, 2013
Special Education - Peggy Simpson (TpT Seller)
Thank you so much for your detailed feedback! I would be happy to walk you through any help you might need. Remember, don't give every area in any one day since is will tire out your students and they might not give you their best effort. Plus, to make sure the results are valid, I always test each section at least three times in the first few weeks and then write the intervention/iep goal. Also, I make sure to retest every six weeks or so. Best of luck and thank you again. My e-mail is: jasbv@aol.com. Have a great day! Peg :8)

Thank you so much! My products tend to get so large because of all the accommodations/differentiation but that's how I teach it in my room; thus, I'm hoping that my products will help other teachers reach all the students for full inclusion. Thanks again for passing my name on and taking the time to leave positive feedback - it is greatly appreciated!

January 26, 2013
Special Education - Peggy Simpson (TpT Seller)
Thanks so much for your kind words - you can use this with my free positive behavior support plan and free daily point sheet if you have students that need a little more help with anger management. If you use this like a social story and show it everyday for a week or two and then circle back to show it every few weeks it can really help some kids with autism. Peg :8)

If u can believe it - this little girl was locked in a cage w no food or water when her owner's home was repossessed. It took her about six months to finally figure out that she was "safe" with us and settle down. Have a great day! Peg :8)

Hi Peggy.
I was looking for that collaborative Special Ed pinning board that you had mentioned but there are so many boards that I wasn't sure if I found the right one. My pinterest account is http://pinterest.com/autismeducators/
Thanks so much!

Hi, Peggy,
I am sorry. I don't know what happened. But I didn't see anything from you. I would have definitely written back to thank you for your stuff.
I will start using dimes.
I did buy him an IPAD. I am so glad that I did. There are so many wonderful apps out there.
I bought a ten frame from a clip art seller. But, it wasn't quite right. It used dots, and they were all the same color. So, I made a ten frame with donuts. I am using donuts of different colors. For example, ten frames are all pink donuts. Then I made a ten frame and glued it to a foam board. I hot glued magnets to it. Then I cut out white and chocolate frosted donuts, put them on foam, and then hot glued on magnets.
So, I am using that with him now.
I like it and it seems to work. I have also been using it with addition problems. Like a might have a ten frame and then another ten frame with six pink donuts on it. When I ask him how many more he needs to get 20, I have him use a different color donut so it is more obvious which ones he just added to get 20. Thanks for your help-Heather

Finally saw what I did wrong today (sent it back on the 21st to .com instead of .net). So sorry about that - just resent and I'll send you some more stuff as soon as I see that you got this one. Peg :8) Wow, that's weird - I'll send some stuff again - maybe it ended up in your spam folder? Isn't the iPad amazing? I'm so glad you got one for him - you should start seeing some amazing progress. There are also some really good ideas on Pinterest - there's one I saw the other day that used paper cups to teach place value - I'm going to try that one with some of my students because it's genius and basically free! Anyway, look for games with money that are interactive and have the whole family play them - letting your son use his iPad or coinulater to count them. Also, what I emailed you was that I'd be happy to help you write up a shopping adventure (social story type) for your son that you read together everyday. This is a very affordable way to learn coin counting for children w/autism. Look at my trash basketball game for an idea of what you are looking for in a game. Talk to you soon! Peg :8)

I'm so sorry this didn't come up until today - I have free (teacher cheat sheet and student blanks for all my social skills). If you look through my store you will see them (about seven or eight) listed there free. Again, I'm sorry this didn't show up until just now. If I can help you with anything else my email is: jasbv@aol.com. Have a great evening! Peg :8)

Hi, Peggy! My e-mail is rice269@comcast.net. As far as what I want him to be able to do, I want him to be able to tell me if he has enough money to pay for an item that costs less than $20.00 and to be able to give me enough money to pay for the item. It is ok to go over what he needs, and I am fine with him just using quarters and not counting different combinations of change. Is it ok for him to rely on the coinulator to add money or should I keep working on using quarters and dollars? I worry that he will be stuck if he does not have the coinulator with him.

Special Education - Peggy Simpson (TpT Seller)
Don't worry about him using the coinulater - make sure he has it when u go to stores, restaurants, etc make sure u get its use added to the iep- u will likely want to switch up w a iPad in the future as the apps are awesome - u may find it easier to have him use dimes (rather than quarters) as that has proved more successful for my students). Thanks 4 your email and I'll send u some stuff to look over when I get home. Take care! Peg

Heather Rice - The Bag Lady (TpT Seller) re: Coins Part 1 Special Needs Ed/ELD Rescue Dogs
Oh! This is Heather again ! Which of your math products would you recommend? Michael can sort and identify money. But not add combimnations. He can count off from the last number when adding two number together but requires a number line. (We also use touch math). He shows a limited understanding of place value.
December 21, 2012
Special Education - Peggy Simpson (TpT Seller)
In the "big" picture - what do you want him to be able to do? Understand, that many adults use calculators (and the coin one he is using is one that many of my students love - and that may be the only way that he is able to add coins for many years). Does he understand that u can "get" things from giving people money? Is there something that he really likes (forgive me but those "happy meals" tend to be high interest). If you give me your e-mail, I'll send you some stuff to look over. Peg :8)

Hi, Peggy!
You gave me the advice about the popsicle sticks and you asked how things were going. Sometimes I feel like we are making progress. But, other times I feel like we are not. Have you ever read a book called, "teaching math to children with Down's syndrome and other special needs learners?" That's what I use with him. I am using popsicle sticks. I also bundle straws, use the unifix cubes, medium sized lego blocks, and clothespins. Sometimes I feel like he's getting it, and then it just goes. Also, can I ask you about money? Right now, he can't add combinations of money except with his special money calculator. (You push the coin and it adds it up for you). Right now, I am focusing on paying for stuff with dollars and quarters only. (Having more than you need is ok. Having less than you need is not). I feel like my priorities need to be:
place value, paying for things, counting my 5's, 10's, 25, and sequence of numbers in the number line. Michael can read at the beginning of third grade. But he is actually stuck at first grade in math. (At one point he actually regressed). Would you be willing to look over my math plans for Michael if I paid you? I am pretty confident in his reading and spelling curriculum because I've had training. But, I could use some advice in the math.rice269@comcast.net Heather Rice

U don't need to pay me darlin' I'm a big advocate 4 kids and will gladly do it for free. As for regressing - it happens (a lot). If u think of your brain as a kitchen (with lots of drawers). U store all your knowledge about quarters in one drawer, nickels in another, etc. and then when go to get them - u forgot which drawer u put them in, if u do find them it took so long u have forgotten "why" u were looking for them in the 1st place - but I've worked w kids from k-high school and often it will just "click" after"years" of standing on a plateau - never give up! My email is: jasbv@aol.com. Take care and remember to keep yourself happy because (as I tell my parents I coach) " u cannot give from an empty cup- and your child needs your cup to be full! Light & love! Peg :8)

Peggy,
Do you find it helps get traffic to include the special ed/autism tags in your product title? I haven't, but have chosen special ed as a category. When I do a search for special ed items they don't show up.
Please let me know if you think that helps.
thanks!

I think it does - I tried it without at first but then I couldn't see them when I went to look (just like you said) - we are so specialized anyway that I think it helps to have it on there. Just my thoughts. . .Peg
