I worked for multiple years as a self contained preschool special education classroom, then moved to an invlusive pre-k setting and now I am a itinerant preschool special education teacher in the VPI classroom.
Pairing choices with visuals to help any student who needs to take a break and get their wiggles out. I love giving my students a choice of three options and have them pick which activity will help them the best. Pre-teach students what they can do when they feel overstimulated/silly/ or need to move, before showing them these visuals. This pairs well with my choice board product.
5 sets of 10 matching cards. These cards are perfect for introducing matching skills to your students. Pairing a matching activity with working on labeling, beginning and ending sounds, colors, object function and much more. I love to pair the real item with the visuals for concept development. Print, cut and laminate! 1. animals 2 clothing 3.food 4. Home items 5. School items
This is a great activity to work on matching pictures in a field size of 2-3 items. This activity will help student label, distinguish same and different and also work on fine motor skills to push the cloths pin open.
Smart notebook activity working on prepositional directions on and off. Great for a group time activity or 1-1. Extension work on commenting if they animal is going on or off the object.
Real life visuals for clothing. Working on labeling item and color. Great for memory games, discrete trial training and perfect for matching assessments.
Smartboard math activities for ECSE classrooms. Working on matching, counting, shapes and sequencing. Great for an autism room or other early childhood rooms.
This powerpoint lists out some examples of big and small items. Have each child label the item and which one is big and small. Perfect for a group time activity or for remote learning.
Great for a pet unit or working on labeling animals. I use these cards to introduce matching. Introducing to my preschoolers animals and work on their animal noises!
Great for back to school or working on labeling new items. I use to target labeling, matching and following 1 step directions. Get the markers- match with the visual shown.
