Grocery Store Flyer - Sorting Activity

You'll need to have grocery store weekly circulars for this activity. I save the ones I get in the mail each week and bring them to school so I always have a stockpile. Students each get a grocery store flyer. They cut & paste items to fit each category. They will need to write the cost next to it and figure out the total cost for each category. Depending on the students and ability levels, I may allow them to use calculators for this. I like this activity because students have to de

Thanksgiving Edition Grocery Store Math

Students need to use a grocery store flyer to shop for an entire Thanksgiving meal. Each category has pictures straight from the grocery store flyer. I used Market Basket this week, but almost all of these items are also for sale in Shaws and Stop & Shop, as well. I made it a Word document, so you can easily replace the images if you want!

Experience

I teach substantially separate special education students in the community based transition program at Durfee High School in Fall River. I typically work with 16-22 year old students.

Teaching style

I love integrating technology into my lessons as much as possible. I try to touch on as many learning styles as possible in each lesson.

My own education history

I attended Saint Anselm College and majored in psychology. I graduated with my Bachelor of Arts degree and started working with adults with disabilities. While working with them, I realized my favorite part of my job was educating. I continued working full time and attended Southern New Hampshire University to earn my Master's Degree in Education K-8 and Special Education PreK-12.

I have a rescue dog, who is my whole world. Adopt don't shop!
