As a primary teacher, it can be very difficult fitting in grammar instruction into your day. I also have a little secret you might not know about me. I used to loathe teaching grammar. Can any of you relate? It's so difficult to even WANT to teach grammar when we have so many other things we could be doing with our day. Plus, many of us are expected to "spiral" it in with the many other subjects we are expected to teach throughout the day. Although all school districts, programs, and teachers are different, I have found something that students love doing, and that is applying new information into something called an interactive notebook!! And so I created these for grammar...and the students loved them!

You'll often hear accomplished painters talking about the importance of values. The reason is simple: value is one of the foundations of realistic drawing and painting. In fact, if you were to pressure me, I'd say it's the foundation. Why do artists talk about values so much? Well, I think I know w
Who is prepping more work boxes this summer? I just love getting new ideas, especially for our older life skill students! Christina Bailey, a transition life skill teacher, offered to share a bunch of her work boxes on my blog! Thank you Christina! Christina works with transition aged students (19-26 years old) with severe cognitive and/or health impairments. Her school serves students from multiple school districts within the county who learn best in an alternative placement. Are you ready? Here they are!! Putting together (or taking apart) flashlights. Bonus points if students can get the batteries in correctly and get the light to turn on! (Motivation!!) Ice cube tray and colored pebbles with tongs. I love the fine motor aspect added here. Marker packaging. I absolutely love this task and would be a great one to buy during back to school marker sales (especially on those really cheap markers you don't really want to use in your classroom!) Erasers on pencils. This has always been one of my favorite tasks! Silverware sorting. A must for every work task station, am I right? And a super easy and cheap one to put together. Silverware rolling / packaging. I love this task as it is perfect for vocational preparation. Putting together curlers. Ribbon threading around a wire basket. I never would have thought of this task! I love using the wire basket to thread the ribbon, and bet students would have fun with this task too. Sewing kit packaging. Packaging tasks like this are great! Tea candle sort. I love this age appropriate color sorting activity. Toiletry packaging. Wouldn't it be awesome to get donations of items like this and put together kits to give out to the homeless as a classroom service project? So, there you have it! Did you get some more good ideas? Happy task box prep! If you ever have anything you want to share, feel free to email me. I love being able to share your fantastic ideas with other special education teachers like yourself!

As special education teachers, we know our students need to fidget, right? But usually the question is what is an appropriate fidget that will help our students focus AND aren't too distracting at the same time. I was contacted by the Focus Fidget and knew I just had to do a giveaway for you guys so you could check this out! Do you need to convince someone that these aren't just toys you are giving students to play with but tools that support learning? Check out these facts below! Preliminary studies at NYU have identified that fidgets encourage body movements which in turn improve focus on a primary task. A recent UK study of 16,000 women showed that those who fidget very often/constantly at work are healthier and may live longer than those who do not. A study of 6th graders showed that students who used fidgets were less distracted in class. In addition, Fidgeting has been shown to benefit some students more than others: Kinesthetic learners (i.e. students who learn best through moving their body and feeling their environment) get more focus and attention benefits from fidgeting than non-kinesthetic learners. Multiple studies have shown significant benefits of fidgeting for kids with Attention Deficit Hyperactiviy Disorder (ADHD). A recent study indicated that the benefit of fidgeting is directly related to the arc of movement (i.e. the back and forth movement) of the body vs. the frequency of movement. Which then brings us to... The Focus Fidget is a multi-functional, multi-sensory fidgeting tool that encourages increased arc of movement of the legs in the sitting position. This fidget is ideal for use by students of any age in the classroom, at home, or anywhere in a chair. The Focus Fidget is especially beneficial for students with increased movement needs. The focus fidget is a multi-functional, multi-sensory product that can be used by anyone! 1. Use it as a foot rest 2. Roll it and push it with your feet to help maintain an alert, focused state and for exercise 3. The textured roller can provide a relaxing massage to the feet or thighs 4. The balls can be used as a fidget for the hands and/or provide deep pressure to the hands or feet 5. The balls can be used as a fidget for the hands and/or provide deep pressure to the hands or feet 6. Store the focus fidget on the roller holder when not in active use 7. The focus fidget and roller holder are light-weight, durable, portable and easy to clean! 8. The focus fidget and roller holder are available in a variety of colors and or patterns for boys, girls, men and women. What I thought was great about the focus fidget is that it can be used multiple different ways, on the floor, on a lap, behind a kid's back, and even on the floor! And it's awesome that this product was created by Jack, a kid with ADHD and Autism, with the help of his mom! Check them at at their online store at www.thefocusfidget.com for more info, videos, research, etc. We will be giving one FREE Focus Fidget combo package (includes one Focus Fidget, one Roller Holder, and Logo Drawstring Bag)! Open internationally (free shipping in USA only, international winners are responsible for shipping) Enter using the Rafflecopter below. a Rafflecopter giveaway Good luck!
