Simple Capitalization and Punctuation Cut and Paste Activity
As a teacher of students with severe disabilities, I know how frustrating it can be to find cognitively appropriate activities that also match to the state standards. My middle school students had to correctly use capital letters and ending punctuation.

Experience
I have taught special education in a co-teaching class for 7th grade English and History. Currently I teach students in adaptive curriculum classes for grades 5-8 for all subjects.
Teaching style
I like to get the kids up and moving. We make up songs and silly dances to remember key information or important vocabulary. We do scavenger hunts, station centers, partner work, and promethean board activities. I LOVE incorporating reading into my lessons, at all ability levels, to encourage students to read to learn and love to read.

Additional biographical information
The goal of my teacherspayteachers store is to provide other special education teachers with materials that are age level AND ability level appropriate. I want to be able to make products that encompass many skills that our students CAN access and will be excited about. My focus is mostly on adapted novel studies and functional skills. I am hoping to relieve some of the stress that comes with searching for/making your own materials to fill the adapted curriculum for our students with special needs. Please leave feedback or post a comment to let me know of materials you are looking for and I will do my best to create a resource for you. Thanks for shopping at "My Fehr Classroom"!!
