Creative Materials

A great way to have students practice recalling how to make their favorite pie recipe as well as work on sequencing. It could also be used for transferring a recipe as well.

Pass out a quote to each student or put your students in groups and have them select a quote to work on together. This can be part of a more dynamic lesson where you have the students complete this quote worksheet first. Then have them make a poster for each quote. It can make for some spooky decorations for Halloween.

During graduation season, your class may want a quick coloring break. Here is a great way to help send off your students who are graduating by congratulating them with this fun graduation banner. I use this banner with my students who are aging out as well to help make them feel like their peers as they exit their time attending high school.

My school has become much more strict with cell phone use. In order to allow students in my life skills class to still utilize their phones for things like using a calculator, setting alarms, using calendar, making phone calls, practicing texting, and other tools on their phone. I created a poster to show my class and my administration when cell phones are not to be used or when they can't be used.

I have had several years of students who without much support did everything they should to be a good team player. This year I had a few students added to my class who have been showing me no respect and don’t take my class seriously. So I decided to make my class more like other classes that students take and add in some classwork and not just focus on my curriculum for Unified PE. This assessment is a great way for me to measure inappropriate classroom behavior from multiple perspectives.

Just in time for Thanksgiving I have created a Serious Turkey and Silly Turkey. They can be used as a coloring page, story prompts, visuals of good or off task behavior, and so forth. I created these as visuals for my students Expected Unexpected board.

During the end of the year not all our students can afford to purchase a Yearbook and some schools don't have Yearbooks. To help your students create a keepsake that will be meaningful I have created a board game themed signing pages.
