Successful Reading

There are those students we have in classs that need to check in when they arrive at school and check out prior to leaving school to determine how they are feeling and to take data as needed for IEPs, 504s, or behavioral issues in general. This form is designed so that a trusted teacher, case manager, or school counselor can talk to the student 1-on-1 and write down their answers to the questions listed. After asking students the questions and writing down their answers, the teacher should hav

There are students who exhibit attention seeking behaviors in the classroom. Well intentioned classroom visitors will come by and see if you and/or the student are ok and how they can help if they hear a problem in the classroom. This sign helps to keep staff focused on ignoring behaviors and allows for classroom visitors to know everything is under control. Great resource for inclusion and special education classrooms.

For any teacher that would like to use "The Very Hungry Caterpillar" as their classroom theme, this product is a must! The file contains nine circles of about me questions. Nine circles are blank to write your own questions and/or print out to send home to have parents/students attach a picture. Print the circles on different shades of green paper, cut them out, and send them home to be completed by students and their parents. Makes cute decor along with a great all about me activity that he

Giving accomodation sheets to resource and classroom teachers should always be documented by special education teachers and case managers at the beginning of the school year. The same is true for collecting the documentation at the end of the year. These sheets will help keep track of doing just that. It does come up at times in IEP meetings whether or not a teacher has received documentation. The teachers name and signature can show when they received paperwork.

We don't know everything about our students when they walk into our classrooms. Sometimes they want us to know they are hungry at home and need food in the morning. Sometimes they want us to know math is boring because they can do math beyond what the class is working on. This resource will help you learn about your students in a way they can tell you freely without the whole class knowing or having to take half the year to find out. It can be done at the beginning of the year or the beginni

When a student is having a meltdown, there are times when they can't reel themselves back in independently. Having students use their senses to take their mind off of being upset and helping them to identify things around them will help students come back down from their episode. Also a great tool to use while teaching the five senses. Students could find pictures in an old magazine or draw pictures to go in each column.

It can be hard to remember what happened in a small group the longer it has been since the group took place. In order to keep up to date with your data, I have created this sheet. You can use it for IEP goal data behavior data for your district if need be. Just write the students name in the first column and use the second column however you need. If you have a student who doesn't complete tasks, you could write "non-compliance" in the second box and make tallies of all the times the student

These sheets will help you set up small groups for reading, math, and dolch words.
