Creative Materials

Can be printed and put on the wall in the classroom. Also, a great way a fellow teacher at my school does with anchor charts is also give the students a copy that they can put in their notebooks, just fold in half and tape it in to where it can be unfolded.

Get your students moving as they go down the hallway. Many schools have started making sensory pathways for walking on but they do not have the students use their upper body. To help get the whole body moving use this visuals to create a sensory wall. This is much cheaper than your 3-D sensory walls and easier to have throughout your school.

You can use the basket for a mini Easter basket or a paper flower basket. My class will be coloring plaster eggs and placing their egg inside. The basket is perfect for one normal size egg.

Writing prompt that can be used for sequencing, details, and more.

Have your students color each pendant. Once each pendant is colored cut out the shape. Then fold the tab hanging off the pendant in half. Take a ribbon or string between the fold and staple. It works best if you put two staples on the sides and one staple in the middle. These pendants are great to decorate a classroom or dance or home. My students are in 6-12 grade in my class, we did it with our Unified PE class as a Unified Art Project and they loved it!

I am using the one I printed for my student in black and white. I will be laminating the pages and turning it into a binder book. My student loves my 1st 100 word books so I decided to created a book that is a similar concept for his school day. I hope you can use this item with your students too. It has a mixture of actual photos and clipart.

This Thanksgiving activity takes being thankful to a new level. We all have done the turkey with the things we are thankful for which is fun way to make a turkey. I decided that to really show others what you are thankful for you shouldn't just do something for yourself. Actions speak louder than words! Gobble, gobble! Help everyone stuff their Thanksgiving turkey with more than just food this year stuff it with love! Stuff everyone's turkey with compliments!

My Unified PE class is doing a card exchange (6th-12th grade). These would be great for students who can't afford to buy cards or just for all the students. Also these could be cute for a candy grams fundraiser.

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.

A 3-D dimensional egg design that is able to be used as just a fun paper egg in a basket or an ornament. You decide! My kids decided to put them in their baskets we made, see Spring Weaved Basket for my basket design.

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.

Build a model mailbox with students. Then help students decorate their mailbox template. Make sure they use the box on the side template and door template to write their name. They will fold the tabs and glue the mailbox together. You may prefer printing this in card stock to make the mailbox more sturdy.

A nice decoration for having a Friendsgiving Party.

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.

I created this letter format for writing to Santa that also was something a student who doesn't celebrate Christmas could also be included.
