About the store
I am about to embark on Year 20 teaching students with moderate and severe disabilities. All students, regardless of their diagnoses, have the right to be exposed to age appropriate, grade level curriculum, modified to meet their needs, while still addressing needed Life Skills and Social Skills. The most important thing I have learned as a teacher is to never make assumptions about student abilities and understanding. If you give them the opportunities, they will often surprise you!

"I have, who has...?" Making 10

Here is a quick game that can be played in centers, independent groups, or as a quick time filler! Print pages double sided (omit page 1) onto card stock or laminate once printed. Pass cards out to each player and have students make pairs that equal 10 by stating "I have (number on card), who has (number that, when combined with number on card makes a 10)"? Everybody wins when all cards have been paired up!

Place Value Dominoes to 99

26 numbers between 1-99, written in words, digits, expanded form, and using Base 10 blocks. Print, laminate, cut, and play dominoes with 2-4 players. Each player begins by drawing 7 tiles. When it is your turn, connect a number on a domino already played to its representative in other forms from your own hand. If you are unable to connect any of the dominoes in your hand to the board, draw from the draw pile until you can take a turn. First one to use all dominos in their hand wins!

Experience

I am about to embark on Year 20 teaching students with moderate and severe disabilities. All students, regardless of their diagnoses, have the right to be exposed to age appropriate, grade level curriculum, modified to meet their needs, while still addressing needed Life Skills and Social Skills. The most important thing I have learned as a teacher is to never make assumptions about student abilities and understanding. If you give them the opportunities, they will often surprise you!

Teaching style

20 years in and I still find ways to change my routines, teaching style, even my classroom set up! As a teacher of students with special needs, I always have to be ready to pivot, adjust, go back to the drawing board, to meet the needs of the students in front of me!

My own education history

Bachelor's Degree and Master's Degree in Special Education, Severe Special Needs. Certificate of Advanced Graduate Study (CAGS) in Educational Leadership.
