This year I will be moving into a new classroom. I wanted to go through a social story with the students and send a letter home to parents. This document was created in PowerPoint. The fonts I used were all downloaded for free on dafont.com or on my Mac: Title: KG Beneath Your Beautiful Letter: Chalkboard Signature: Jennifer Lynne Please use this letter as a template and insert your information. Tweak it to your liking. For the social story, I found free clipart online and you may insert y

**EDITABLE** I worked in a classroom with two paraprofessionals. I struggled with providing an organized way to determine roles in the room. Finally, I created a list of the duties for before, during, and after school. I sat down with both ladies and asked them what they would like to do. This way, they had some ownership and interest in what they were doing. The second portion of this document are the rules and routines of the classroom. The routines range from lunch to what to do in a criss

Initiating a conversation can involve positive practice, reading, and writing. You can incorporate these activities into their independent work time. There is also an easy to use data sheet. If you are like me, you are welcome to type in the student's information at the top of the data sheet. Enjoy :)

This is a year-long bulletin board design. You can change the hashtags throughout the year. For example, you can change them each month, for each thematic unit, display student work, etc. I print real photos. My students really love looking at them! They can be great conversation starters and writing prompts. The possibilities are endless. Enjoy :)

I worked at a camp over the summer. I liked to keep parents informed by sending a newsletter home each week. This could easily be used in the classroom setting, as well. Fonts I used: Titles: KG What the Teacher Wants Week and Date: KG True Colors Info: Century Gothic

This can be used in the inclusion setting or within a special education classroom. It goes through the steps of the scientific method. It allows students with disabilities to participate and share ideas. The last page provides a self-assessment that students can circle yes of no.

This product is formatted to be similar to the standardized alternate assessment. You can laminate and bind the packet for multiple uses. This could also be used for an independent work task. You can scaffold the supports by eliminating the visual support of math action words . I included the CUBES posters, a visual checklist for each step, and a visual support with the math action words. It covers the following skills for word problems: Given a problem, student will Identify math action word

This is a set of data sheets to be used to monitor progress for all Dolch sight word lists. The way this data sheet is set up allows you to see individual percentages for words including which words a student is struggling with.

This has so many uses! You could use it with cooking activities, science, increase speech, visual support for writing, etc. I needed to have something that could be used in the inclusive setting to be used more than once. It increased the participation for my students in labs!! You just need to laminate and add rings or place in a binder. Individual pages can be hung up for students to refer back to. Students can point or circle on the sheet. They can use the sentence starter to write or have

We send this letter every year to our local grocery store. They provide a donation of fried chicken for our Friendsgiving event. We happen to go grocery shopping there each week. You can edit the letter to fit your needs.

So many students struggle with coping with anger. The best thing to do is teach them how to! This can be used as both a social story and checklist. I have students read through the checklist and then go through each step. The student in the example had very explicit steps. You can alter it to fit the needs of your students. An extension to this activity can be a video model. You can record the student going through all the steps. The student can watch it on a daily basis to reinforce the behav

This is a great resource to use with students with moderate to severe needs. It is very minimal. I used this with a student who had a goal to count coins using Touch Points. You can put it in Google Slides using Google classroom. It can be done on an iPad or computer. Students are able to click and drag the answer into the yellow box. This provides data collection with ten trials.

I work with students with significant disabilities. One student, in particular, needed a plethora of activities to do that were a the level of a preschooler. I created this document that provided the name, steps, and materials for each activity. They are simple to do in the classroom or hallway. The directives that are listed are simple. The document is editable so you can add new activities and personalize it to meet your student's needs. It came in handy to show exactly what my other staff

This item is for classroom decor. I glued my letters onto black paper and laminated them. Then, I used a hot glue gun to attach the letters onto a ribbon. You can also hang it as a banner. It is something that can be hanging all year. The font I used is Wish I Were Taller. Enjoy :)
