These Multiple Choice Spelling Tests are an updated version of my previous freebies! This all in one download comes with 5 words, 10 words, 15 words, 20 words, and 25 words - multiple choice spelling tests. I've also included an optional bonus word for all! Each test was created in mind of those special education students who need an adapted spelling test. However, this test can be used for any student who struggles when it comes to taking a spelling test. Also, it can be used as a pre-test, le

As seen on my Instagram - and uploaded to my TPT as requested by many followers.In my classroom, I display my learning targets and standards on my white board. I use my Learning Target Display Tags to help my students (and myself) easily see the learning target/standard we are currently working on. All I do is tape the tags to magnetic clips. Then, I just clip the learning target/standard to my whiteboard. It's as easy as that!:) I uploaded the exact tags I use. There are 6 to a page. Print as

*UPDATED 5/14/19*I have decided there can be months where I don't have any IEP meetings, and then there can be a day where I have 4 in a row! Completely overwhelming and lots of paperwork everywhere... that goes for myself AND the regular education teacher invited to the meeting. Along with delivering the regular education teacher an official invitation to the meeting, I also like to add a sticky note to it - for them to put on their desk calendar or in their planner! I am also guilty of printi

Oh the stress of collecting data for progress monitoring. The majority of the time I'm on the ball and organized, but there's always those few times where my desk is swamped with data I need to record yet and sticky notes all over. I ended up developing a love/hate relationship with sticky notes and progress monitoring. I LOVE using sticky notes as reminders and to scribble notes down on, but I HATE that they’re stuck all over my things and that sometimes I forget what it was I wanted to remem

Knowing someone with a severe allergy ( whether it be to food, dye, scents, animals, medications, etc.) should be something taken very seriously. Especially if it is a student in our classroom/school building. Being aware and knowledgeable of these students with allergies is huge in helping all students stay safe. A reaction is serious and very scary. My school's nurse provides a confidential list at the beginning of the year to all teachers informing us of important student medical issues -

The end of a nine week grading quarter can be quite hectic, to say the very least. With ALL that there is to complete, sometimes it's hard to remember if you finished everything you needed to... "Did I record this student's progress?" "Did I print progress reports for these students?" This resource was created with the intention of helping ease the stress that comes along with recording our final, quarterly student progress - whether it be recording grades, IEP goal progress, student levels,

Just a fun coloring page for Valentine's Day! Students can color the page for their special Valentine, OR write what they love about their Valentine in each puzzle piece before coloring. Want to see this resource and others put to use in my classroom? Follow my blog!

Stay organized and track student progress with ease using my Weekly Grade Check Sheet, that I designed specifically for my high school special education classroom (as shown on my Instagram). This easy to use sheet allows teachers to record and monitor individual student grades across subjects on a weekly basis, ensuring no progress is overlooked. This sheet provides a clear overview of student performance. The user-friendly layout makes it simple to navigate and update regularly, empowering te

Having to transition (rather quickly) to teaching remotely has had me feeling unorganized. I do not have all of my binders and important information sheets with me, while I am at home, as I plan for IEP meetings at home. Instead of re-printing everything, I decided to turn my Progress Monitoring Quarterly Checklist into an interactive PDF file, that I can use on my iPad. This has been saving me from re-printing everything, as well as having to create an entirely new filing system. I do not ha

Before each of me student's IEP meetings, they each complete their own student information form. This is an excellent way for me to get student input and feedback, to include in their IEPs. However, over the years, I've noticed some of my students become quiet/shy during their meetings. It's almost like they forgot all of the wonderful information they just have given me, a week or two prior to the meeting. Creating a meeting one-pager, is exactly what some of my students needed! I can easily

1. My students wanted a place to store their previously used mini charts. 2. My students love to use task boxes. I mixed the two and turned them into this! Mini Chart Storage Labels are perfect for storing students' previously used mini charts in any small box you already have, and especially in any task box (a craft photo keeper case). The labels come with minimal color. You are able to type in each of your students' names, by typing in the text box I have provided. Use the basic font I

I try and provide my students with an active role in developing our classroom management policy. Especially those who do tend to display inappropriate classroom behaviors - in which case I like to hear what those select individuals with behavior problems have to say, and try to work them. I'm guilty of paying most attention to those forms that are turned in to me. I don't enjoy repeating their names any more than they enjoy hearing me do so. This is the second year using this form in my lea

Adding and subtracting positive and negative integers can be a difficult concept to grasp at first. I love using my Positive and Negative Squares with my learning support students. They are able to actually see how the problem is solved by manipulating their positive and negative squares to match the number sentence they are working on.

I can't express to you how much I LOVE when my students draw me pictures, write me notes, make me signs... basically shower me with all sorts of creative gifts!:) It makes me feel SO appreciated! In the past I have always displayed their art work around my room, for all of my students to see. However, now that I am nearing the end of a school year, I am running out of places to display their thoughtful work! I am huge on organization in my classroom. So, I thought to myself - why not keep ALL o

I admit, I sometimes send out too many "snaps" to my family and friends while I am on vacation. I just get so excited and can't help myself! All of my summer time "snapping" so far has led me to this idea - My Summer in a Snap! I know my students love taking "snaps," too. What better way for them to show me, as well as their classmates, what they did over the summer! Perfect for the first day/week of school, or even great to use anytime during the school year - The "snap" worksheet isn't desi

On any given Tuesday, I love to surprise my students with something called “Tiny Tale Tuesday!” They don’t know which Tuesday it’s coming, but they sure do get excited when I announce this special day at the beginning of ELA. Whether they write about princesses in a castle, or pirates finding buried treasure, they LOVE making up their own tiny tales! I’ve used my Tiny Tale Template with students in grades 3-6. It’s also easy to use and perfect for my learning support students to understand a

I'm asked, "What number month is it," A LOT. I needed something simple to display in my classroom that would help my middle school/high school learning support students become more familiar with this - when having to write the date. Display as a banner or hang just one up during it's month! You will be receiving this as a PDF. The PDF is secured due to font copy right laws. If you have any questions do not hesitate to ask!

Perfect to use in leftover book bin labels! Stick them to the desk and slide in the chart needed! There are 4 spelling mini charts in this selling list set. Six mini charts of each per page. These mini charts are great for those who struggle with their spelling words. The Mini Charts include:- 5 Word Spelling List - 10 Word Spelling List - 15 Word Spelling List ("word 16" can be deleted) - 20 Word Spelling List (created with smaller sized font, to be able to fit each word in the mini chart)

Independent Work Day is what I call the work I leave for my students in my classroom when I have to leave to attend a meeting. Typically my class is covered by another teacher, so I leave independent assignments (mostly review activities) for each student to complete by filling out a "work day slip" for them. I paperclip the work slip to the work the student needs to complete and leave it for the teacher covering my class. Each student receives their own work slip and work. Students check of
