Communication and Documentation
Keep parents in the loop by having staff or students (depending on the age) fill out this daily log of what happened. This is a great way to get parents involved! It also works really well for documenting individual student progress. Also, by documenting the child's daily activities you can begin to determine patterns, struggle, and strength areas for each student.

Table-top Mini Golf: STEAM Engineering and Design for Elementary GATE
In From Putt-putt to Pebble Beach--Table-top Mini Golf, students will design and construct a playable table-top sized miniature golf course using the engineering design process. With these lessons, the teacher defines the problem, helps students gather background research, and specifies the requirements. The students do the rest: creating alternative solutions, choosing the best solution, doing development work, building a prototype, and testing and redesigning. The result is a classroom filled

STEM Kid Engineering for GATE -- FERRIS WHEELS plus Primary Sources
In this GATE engineering journey, students will each construct a very cool Ferris wheel prototype as a final product. Along the way, they will examine primary source images, read primary source history, and integrate math, engineering, and economics in a learning process which incorporates best practices in gifted and talented education for 21st Century Learners.
This is a challenging engineering project—teacher guided. I used it for GATE 4th grade; however, my kids are experienced builders.

Arctic Dogsled Racing Design Challenge - STEAM for Upper Elementary
Here’s an applied engineering challenge in which—just like in the real world of engineering—a poor design means limited success or even failure.
In the Iditarod Sled Challenge, students apply their background knowledge of physical science and use logic and imagination to construct a miniature sled that will deliver “serum” to Nome, Alaska, just like Balto once did.
Use this challenge in conjunction with your study of the arctic or the Iditarod--or as a stand-alone engineering challenge for the

Visual Closure for Early Learners: Recognizing Part to Whole
Do you have early learners or other students struggling with visual perception? In 'Visual Closure for Early Learners: Recognizing Part to Whole', students will develop the ability to recognize a form or object, even when the whole picture isn't available. This concept can have a significant impact on many areas of development and function, including fine-motor skills, gross-motor skills, and pre-reading skills.

Preschool Classroom Labels for toy shelves
UPDATED!!!!! This is 35 pages worth of classroom labels/pictures for your shelves and the bins the items are placed in. The updated version has about 30 new images and they are now placed in boxes for a more uniform look. All 105 images come with an identical picture (one for the shelf and one for the bin) and have a space underneath for you to WRITE the name of the item. Best practices encourages as much natural print as possible. What a great way to model real handwriting and not typing.

Friday Math -- Sports Pennants Geometry Design for 21st Century Learners
Powerful visual-mathematical connections with hands-on design challenges. . .
Everyone likes to cheer for someone, and the traditional pennant has been a mainstay of “fandom” for more than a century. Tried, tested, and refined with GATE nonverbal ability 4th and 5th graders, this lesson should be a hit with 6th grade, 7th grade (or beyond) too!
In this lesson, students use geometry, number sense, and measurement skills to design their own pennants. The keyword is PRECISION in these designs.

I clip these timer images into picture schedules for my young students with special needs. When paired with a real visual timer, kids began to get an idea of how much time each activity will take. This method is especially effective for children with Autism and others who struggle with transitions (it helps them realize that a nonpreferred activity will not last forever, and gives them warning as a preferred activity comes to a close).
