A lot of the teachers at my school are teaching students typing/ keyboarding skills... I loved the idea of having my students type because it's such an important life skill and some of my students struggle with the fine motor skills involved with using a pen/pencil... but I had NO idea how I was going to teach my students with moderate to severe disabilities how to type when some of them don't know all of the letters yet. So, I did a good ole internet search and ended up finding some color-coded keyboards like this one. The color-coded keyboards already out there are okay, but they definitely aren't going to give my students the visual prompts they really need to type... so I decided to just make my own adapted keyboard. First, I ordered a keyboard with larger keys that already had some color-coding. Then I made a template using Powerpoint to color-code each letter on the keyboard. I printed the little letter pieces out, laminated & cut them out and then hot glued them to the keyboard. Then I used the template to create little color-coded word strips that are a visual prompt for students to type their names and basic CVC words. I was super excited to try the keyboard out with my class, but I had no idea how well it would actually go! I have a few students who can type their name and a few CVC words independently with the fancy keyboard and word strips! I found my keyboard on Ebay for $20, so make sure you shop around a bit before you buy one! I just looked around Amazon, eBay, etc. and searched "large adapted keyboard." Here are some pretty reasonably priced keyboards: Amazon $30 Office Depot $38 Walmart $29 You can download the template for free here! With the template, you can print out the letters for the keyboard and you can also use it to make visuals for students with their names, words, etc. Do you have any tips or tricks for modifying computer/ iPad equipment so students with moderate to severe disabilities can type?

One of my favorite units to teach is Germs. I really love teaching any health unit, but germs is such a relatable unit for our kids. It's perfect to teach at any time of the year, but especially during cold and flu season. Germs Pacing Guide I use a lot of Brain Pop, Jr. videos, picture books, and a few paper resources in my unit. I also have a couple of hands-on, fun activities to add in when we have some extra time. My favorite germ books are: A Germ's Journey by Thom Rooke, MD Sick Simon by Dan Kroll Do Not Lick This Book by Idan Ben-Barak Blow Your Nose, Big Bad Wolf by Steve Smallman Germs Make Me Sick! by Melvin Berger The Bacteria Book by Steve Mould Achoo! The Most Interesting Book You'll Ever Read About Germs by Trudee Romanek There are a lot of really good ones. I have them all linked on my Amazon page for you. One my favorite activities to do is a germ experiment to model the importance of washing with soap and water. Get out the glitter and lotion for this one. This is basically what I do: 1- Put lotion and glitter (germs) on everyone's hands. 2- Have them all shake hands, give high fives, share pencils, etc. This shows the spread of germs. 3- Try washing with just water and shaking dry. 4- Wash with soap, water, and dry with a paper towel. You'll model how to wash hands properly and how easily germs are spread. It's easy, and the kids always really like it. Another one of my favorite activities is to make germ models out of Play Doh or modeling clay. I have them pull up pictures of germs on the iPads, and then choose one to model their germ after. You can even have the kids do a little bit of writing about that particular germ. Is it a bacteria? Is it a virus? What symptoms does it cause? Add a little bit of whimsy by adding some googly eyes. Another crafty idea is to make blow painted germs and then have the students write facts about germs or specifically bacteria/viruses. Blow painting is so fun, and most of the students will have never done this before. Here's a video to model it. You'll need: tempera paint, water, straws (1 per student), cups, and white construction paper (1 per student). 1- Add tempera paint to a cup, and mix in about 2 tablespoons of water. I'm not exact about this. The consistency needs to be thin enough to pick up and blow but not so thin that it's a watery mess. 2- Students will each get a straw, and they'll use the straw like a medicine dropper to pick up the paint. If you have medicine droppers, use those. They'll be easier. I just don't have any of those. 3- Gently blow the paint onto the paper. 4- Add a few different colors, and blow until you like the shape. 5- Once the germs are dry, draw on a little mouth with a Sharpie and add googly eyes. You can download the writing paper here. Throughout my unit, my students work in their germs flip books. We don't do the entire thing at once. We do a page or two at a time, as they coordinate with the day's lesson. I love using a flip book, because it's pretty printer friendly and the kids find them engaging. At the end of the unit, they have something to show their work and study from. You can find my germs flip book here. I also created a set of simple worksheets that coordinate with the lessons and the flip book. I typically make them into a packet, and we work on them with different lessons. The puzzles are nice for early finishers. The worksheets are found here. Germs Worksheets I always feel like when teaching about germs, it's important to teach about healthy habits and leading a healthy life style- Nutrition, sleep, mindfulness, etc. Balance Your Lunch Tray Game Please Don't Pick Your Nose Poem Here's a list of all of the resources that I use for my germs unit. Some are in my Google Drive, and some are on TPT.

Interactive books for preschoolers are a great way to get them involved in a book in meaningful ways. Since social emotional learning in preschool is key, I created this wonderful "I Can" interactive book. Preschool children will learn important concepts about what it means to be responsible. This colorful interactive book for kids gets them reflecting on how they can and do contribute each day to their own homes and families. All you need to do to prep the interactive preschool book is print, cut out the cards, and laminate for durability. Your child will likely want to go through it again and again!
