Since I started working in my current classroom, I have been making worksheets here and there and pulling from wherever I can for ones to fill in. Each year (3) has gotten smoother and more organized, but next year I want to have everything in 3 ring folders, ready for the students to grab for that class. So, my goal is to have 4 folders per student. Folder #1 Morning Warm up folder- I started this one at the end of this year. My students arrive at different times in the morning within a 30 minute time frame. They grab their "yellow" folders on their way in and sit down and start working. We write a morning message, log the temperature and weather from our newspapers and than do a worksheet inside the folder. These worksheets require a little help and mostly contain subjects the students are familiar with (time, calendar skills, market/restaurant math, newspaper skills, money etc). So far it's been working out great. Let me also say that I have 4 amazing aides in my classroom that help me accomplish this! My other 3 folders will be, social skills, money/math, and life skills. I teach each one of these subject once a week so I will need roughly 37 - 45 minute lessons in each of the folders. Time to get working! Here is a lesson I did on pet care. This will be added to my life skills curriculum. http://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Product/Life-Skills-Pet-Care

Learning new skills and furthering your education should continue beyond just your years of schooling! Use these free resources to further your education.
Life skills are abilities that enable one to deal with the needs and demands of life effectively. Learn about the important life skills your teen should know.
Books, and the stories within them, offer safe and engaging teachable moments for children to explore emotions, understand common life challenges and apply social and emotional skills.
The secret to leadership and transformation of a group--or of another person--is the quality of the relationship one person has with another. The effective group leader or counselor will be the person who learns how to listen to other people. By studying and employing listening skills, church leaders will engage others more compassionately, allowing them to feel that their needs are being met. These skills can be used with persons who are terminally ill, inactive at church, going through a divorce, in a family with a severely ill person, unemployed, seeking a new church, grieving, traumatized by catastrophe, going through teenage adolescence, in marriage counseling, or leading a ministry team. John Savage offers eleven specific and teachable listening skills for improving relationships among those who do ministry in small-group settings or when offering counsel to others. The skills are taught through oral exercises and unfailingly helpful examples from actual congregational situations. The skills include paraphrasing, productive questions, perception check, expression of feelings and emotions, fogging, negative inquiry, behavior description, and story listening.
