This social story, in addition to the "My Turn To Talk & I Have A Question Cards", helps students to develop efficient strategies when waiting for their turn to talk in class. These strategies are lifelong tools that will enable students to positively participate in conversations and discussions with others. When reading the social story “Waiting My Turn to Talk”, some good questions to ask the child you are working with, that will enable you to gauge their level of comprehension on displaying the desired behaviours, can include: • When should I talk to my teacher? • What should I do when my teacher or other students are talking? • Will my teacher and the other students be happy if I wait my turn to talk? Social stories are a great strategy to help with behaviour management as they assist in modelling what is right and what is wrong, while also assisting students with autism, ADHD, Downs Syndrome etc to understand the perspective of other people and why they may respond or react to them and their actions in a particular way.

“My thoughtful and astute therapist introduced me to the idea that hyperactivity can be mental as well as physical, and he told me that I had been misdiagnosed with inattentive ADHD as a young adult. He noted that, in fact, I experience the hyperactive component of ADHD in the form of overwhelmingly chaotic thought and speech.”

Let's talk about the cycle of #ADHD burnout. A thread. 💬
Why is it important to trust your gut? Because deep down you know what’s best. And how many of us get in trouble when we don’t? Too many. Why do we try to talk ourselves out of what we know is best? Take a look at why, and how to stop doing that. Denial. It is sometimes easy not to “see” what we know is there. We don’t have to confront the truth. Listen to your gut: In the end it will be easier to deal directly, and avoid getting ourselves into lots of trouble. The Worst May Happen. Most projections never materialize, and whatever we don’t know, we will be able to handle. Listen to your gut: Why not expect the best and make it happen. It’s Just a Feeling. Ideas from our “head” sometimes seem more logical than our feeling sense, and we may dismiss them. Listen to your gut: Even if it can’t be proved, inner clarity gives us an edge. When we trust a “hunch”, it usually points us in the right direction. Tags: intuition, strength You may also be interested in…

I have a new favorite chart! I found this on pinterest and knew it would be great to use during the first week with my new little first graders. Amanda (the smartie who made this) from First Grade Garden graciously allowed me to share a printable I made to go along with her anchor chart. I was so busy my first week that I never got around do doing this activity with the kids, so I'm saving it for one of those days when I think they need a big reminder about being good listeners. Also, I may tie it in with a writing lesson on labeling. Click the image to download this document.

Did you know that we do Rainbow Drawers? They are fun because we learn from them. We learn how to spell new words. One of the drawers has smelly pencils. One drawer has popsicle sticks in it. We build our words with the popsicle sticks (see Dylan's picture above).The playdough is fun. It is mushy and it's fun to make words out of. We really like Rainbow Drawers. This blog post was written by the first graders using a Step Up to Writing stoplight plan. Green=topic sentence, yellow=details, red=elaborations

We did this FHE a while back and I left the lesson out to share on my blog. We talked about communication and emphasized the tone that we use in our voices. We discussed how just by changing our tone can cause different responses. I cut the following page out so that each family member had a short phrase that they could say using a nice tone and then a sharp, ugly tone for the same phrase. The kids had fun hamming up their parts and we had a good discussion about how JUST the tone can COMPLETELY change the outcome of a scenario because your tone sets the tone of the conversation. I then read the following poem - The Tone of Voice It’s not so much what you say As the manner in which you say it; It’s not so much the language you use As the tone in which you convey it; “Come here!” I sharply said, And the child cowered and wept. “Come here,” I said – He looked and smiled And straight to my lap he crept. Words may be mild and fair And the tone may pierce like a dart; Words may be soft as the summer air But the tone may break my heart; For words come from the mind Grow by study and art – But tone leaps from the inner self Revealing the state of the heart. Whether you know it or not, Whether you mean or care, Gentleness, kindness, love, and hate, Envy, anger, are there. Then, would you quarrels avoid And peace and love rejoice? Keep anger not only out of your words – Keep it out of your voice. ~Author Unknown We finished off with a fun communication game where we had to sit back to back with a partner. I know the FHE went over well because we are still using the phrase, "Watch your tone" and "Try a different tone in your voice so that you can get a better response" and the kids know exactly what we are talking about.
