If you teach for any length of time, you will eventually have a student (or two) that is easily distracted. See if these scenarios sound familiar. Another student gets up to get a tissue, the "D" (distractible) student watches in complete fascination. A squirrel runs by on the tree limb near your classroom's window, your "D" student quits working to watch what the squirrel is going to do next. Anything and everything seems to be more interesting than doing what he or she is supposed to be doing. It doesn't matter if this student is supposed to be listening to the story you are reading to your class at circle time or a paper-pencil assignment, this student is distracted by the world around him or her. By this time of year, you have probably tried many different strategies. I have a few things you might want to add to your bag of tricks to try with your student(s). The most important word to remember with a "D" student is novelty. I can't stress that word enough. Novelty is key! Did you notice that with the strategies that you've tried in the past, the strategy worked with some success in the beginning but it quit being effective? Rotate your techniques on a frequent basis. I suggest rotating every one or two weeks. One of the things I did with my daughter when she was in the toddler years was to rotate her toys. I had different baskets of toys, but only used one of them at a time. I found she played better (stayed focused on the toys) when she only had one basket of toys. Each time I got out a new basket, she acted like these were new toys. It was the novelty of the toys! This works with school kids, too! You can do the same type of thing for our "D" student. Ahead of time, set up 4 tubs/folders or a calendar with strategies that you want to use with your student. Here are a few suggestions that you could include: 1. Set up an office space / study carrel away from distractions 2. Use a visual timer - you can ask your special education dept. if they have one that you can borrow. My occupational therapist loaned me a class size one and a desk size one. I love, love, love my visual timer. I found my class size timer helped all of my students. You may decide to invest in one to use all the time. 3. If this is a student with extra energy, set up a stamping station (stamp and stamp pad). Give the student an egg timer. He or she works as many problems as he or she can until the sands run out of the egg timer. Then the student gets up, walks over to the stamping station with his/her assignment, he/she stamps the assignment next to the last problem that he/she finished. Then goes back to desk, turns over egg timer and begins working again. When time runs out, goes to stamping station, stamps last problem that he/she completed, goes back to desk and continues this until he/she completes the assignment. To modify this, you can tell them they need to turn over the egg timer once or twice before they stamp it or you can use a different type of timer to give a longer work period. This is a great documentation tool. 4. Let them stand up to work. Ask your custodian if you can have an extra desk for this and also ask your custodian to raise the desk as high as possible. You can put the desk on boards, cinder blocks, or bricks to raise it. 5. Let them stand up behind your class when students are on the carpet. 6. Use tape to make a clearly defined box that student will sit in when you are on the carpet. Have the assigned place in the front corner. Painters tape works great for this! 7. Headphones are amazing tools. Your librarian or tech specialist will usually have headphones that no longer work. You can cut the cords off of these. If you have a super-duper distracted student, I would recommend using the headphones that guys that run jackhammers use. You can buy them at Home Depot or Lowe's. Warning: These are pretty pricey! You can ask your P.T.A. to purchase these for you, write a grant, or ask parents for donations.

This Valentines Day, boys are in the majority for us. We have 5 Grandsons; but only one little grand-daughter … all of whom I like to mail Valentines to. On top of that, we are having a Valentine party on Friday which will include 7 boys (My little Grandson Winston included), and no girls (not counting the Mama's and Grandma's of course). All this has had me on the hunt for Valentine ideas for boys. I was inspired by several pins on Pinterest that I found, and played a little with clothespins and wooden ice-cream sticks to make these Clothespin Airplane party favors. They came out pretty cute, so, of course I wanted to share them with you. Materials: Wooden Clothespins Mini popsicle sticks for the tail wing and rudder (you will cut both ends off some of your mini popsicle sticks, for a tail rudder for each plane) Medium/small ice cream sticks or medium sized popsicle sticks (I used the ice cream sticks) for the wings Hot glue gun and glue sticks Magnets Spray paint and/or craft paint Steps: Drop a dab of hot glue on the top of a clothes pin. 2. Place an ice-cream stick on top of the glue to create a top wing; press together firmly. 3. Place another dab of glue on the bottom side of the clothespin under and parallel to the first. 4. Place a dab of glue on the tail and glue a mini popsicle stick for the tail. 5. Cut the ends of some of the mini popsicle sticks for tail rudders. Steve cut these for me with a hacksaw. He put 5 together at a time, and put them in a vice and sawed them off (another alternative: use pliers to hold them and then saw them one at a time). 6. Put a dab of hot glue on the bottom of the tail rudder piece. 7. Glue the rudder to the tail. Nows its time for the paint... but I will say that, these are so cute even without the paint, that you could leave them natural, and they would be awesome. 8. Create a protected environment to spray paint…. 9. Place a stick in the mouth of the clothespin to give yourself a handle while painting. 10. Spray paint both sides of the plane (or paint with acrylic craft paint and a brush, and let the kids paint them.) Decorate with an alternate paint color if you desire; Steve did all the painting for me; I think he had a great time doing it; there is a kid in all of us don't you think. He also loved thinking about each of his Grandkids while he painted them. Glue a magnet to the bottom. These can be used to make party favors as is, or added to a Magnetic Greeting Card, for a cute decoration on the card. Click here for the instructions. Have fun!

In my house we are VERY excited about the beginning of Spring... well sometimes we think it's coming and other times we are certain that winter will NEVER end.... but we are optimistic! My favorite thing about Spring (besides the warmer temps) is how the world looks so fresh and new! Flowers start blooming, animals come out and play, and rainbows abound! A rainbow is truly a miracle....and if you are Christian like me, they remind you of God's great promise. And, that makes me happy. :) Anyways, we made oobleck a couple weeks ago and my kids were really interested in the viscosity of that crazy stuff. So, I found this great science experiment to make a rainbow in a jar from "Sweet and Simple Things". This experiment is all about the viscosity of the liquids you place in the jar....starting with corn syrup (which has a high viscosity) and moving to alcohol (with has a very low viscosity). I was so surprised how much Reagan remembered about this big scientific concept! He was even about to tell me about each liquid's viscosity as he poured it in. I went to Amazon and got this great book: How to Make a Liquid Rainbow (Hands-On Science Fun) Wanna make a liquid rainbow of your own? Read below to see how. My 6 year old Reagan did it basically by himself (with some guidance from mom)....so it's easy. This activity also provides a great opportunity to discuss measurement. I showed him where the 1/2 cup ling was and he was soooo careful to pour exactly to that line. SUCH great learning..... We had several different size cups, so we also talked about how the 1/2 cup line was in different places on the different cups. Materials: *measuring cup *spoon *large clear glass/container *food coloring (red, blue, and green) *Blue Dawn dish soap (light blue preferable, but dark blue will work) *oil (I used olive oil, but any will do) *light corn syrup *rubbing alcohol To make your liquid rainbow, start with the inverse colors. Purple will be first, then blue, green, yellow, and red. Yes - I know we are missing orange.....but trust me this is fantastic! Just go with it! :) Purple Pour 1/2 corn syrup in measuring cup. Add 1 drop of red food coloring and 1 drop of blue food coloring. Mix. Pour the mixture into the clear glass container. (This is a great time to discuss how we make the purple color if your child doesn't already know. Turning red and blue into purple is nearly magical for a young child). Blue Pour 1/2 cup of blue Dawn dish soap into a measuring cup. Then, SLOWLY SLOWLY SLOWLY pour the blue dish soap along the side of the glass container. It's so important to go slow. You will start to see a layer of purple and a layer of blue. :) Green Pour 1/2 cup of water into a measuring cup. Add 2 drops of green food coloring and mix. SLOWLY SLOWLY SLOWLY pour the green water down the side of your glass container. It will make a 3rd layer of green. Yellow Pour 1/2 cup of olive oil (or other yellow oil) SLOWLY (you get my point) down the side of the container. You now have 4 layers (purple, blue, green, and yellow). Red Pour 1/2 rubbing alcohol into a measuring cup. Add 2 drops of red food coloring. Now, this is where it's super important to pour SLOWLY down the rim on the container. You will now have your top, red layer! SHAZAM!! -- a liquid rainbow! TIPS: #1 - I will tell you that when we made our first liquid rainbow, we poured our red layer too quickly and some went below the oil layer - so pour SLOWLY!! #2 - Always err on the side of the colors being too light instead of darker. The colors show up better the lighter they are. If they are too dark, it all looks like a blaaaahhh dark mess.... The second round went PERFECT! This is a quick and easy activity to do with your child! It took us from start to finish maybe 15 minutes... So ..... - go ahead and make your own LIQUID RAINBOW!!!! Tell me how it goes! :)
