For students with autism, identifying the emotions for themselves and/or others can be VERY CHALLENGING. During my first year of teaching, I realized that teaching emotions needed to be a key part of my instruction. I started targeting emotions in a weekly Drama Time where we played structured drama games related to emotions. Currently, we not only utilize drama time, but try to intertwine teaching emotions into everything we do. And can I tell you...it has made a difference. I used to have a student who would scream, cry, throw is body on the floor, and completely shut down to the outside world anytime something didn't go his way. When we started working on identifying emotions, these behaviors reduced drastically. I still remember one day this student sitting up and crying in the cafeteria. I asked him what was wrong and he said "I am sad no playground today." (It was raining). This would usually have been something that would cause a full blown tantrum. I was thrilled! This student had never used language about emotions before except during our structured drama games. Once he had been taught the words for what he was feeling, he was able to generalize those skills and express his emotions through words instead of dangerous behaviors. This was definitely a proud teacher moment for me :-) We continue to have a structured Drama time each week where we work on acting out/identifying emotions through playing games. One game we play is called Drama Mask Drawer. We all sit in a circle and pretend to open a drawer and reach into it. The teacher will say "Put on your ___ face." (Some of the emotions we started with were Happy, Sad, Mad, Frustrated, Silly, Scared, Jealous, etc.). For my lower functioning students, I use a mirror to show them their face and try to get them to imitate mine. For my higher functioning students, I will ask them more in depth questions such as "why are you feeling jealous." We also incorporate learning about emotions into our literacy/comprehension activities. This is one activity we use. I cut these cards apart and use the cards on the left as the scenario. Then I use the pictures of the emotions as answer choices for my students. A set of these scenarios along with some other emotion visuals are available at my TPT Store . We have this posted in our room to practice asking each other about our emotions. We also incorporate emotions into work tasks during independent work stations through matching and sorting activities.

Are you looking for a hands-on and engaging way to practice spatial concepts, build vocabulary, and follow directions in speech therapy? This no-prep, interactive activity includes scenes with pre-made directions specifically designed to enhance preposition concepts in speech therapy sessions. Perfect for introducing spatial concepts in speech therapy or for speech therapy homework! Understanding spatial relationships is crucial for language development, and this resource makes it both fun and educational. These prepositions worksheets are not just another set of exercises; they help students master prepositions and spatial understanding in a speech therapy setting in a functional way. They're designed to be open-ended, allowing you to tailor the difficulty level and focus according to each student's needs. This flexibility ensures that you can revisit the scenes, posing different questions each time to reinforce learning spatial concepts and prevent memorization. Use these functional play dough mats to work not only on prepositions, but also vocabulary, categories, articulation, following directions, and other language concepts. Use play dough, bingo chips, mini objects, dot markers, or other manipulatives. Make this activity NO PRINT by drawing on the scenes while on your device. ✅ WHAT'S INCLUDED Prepositions Development Chart Following Directions Development Chart 5 Scenes (color and black & white) Dining Room Bedroom Kitchen Bathroom Laundry Room 5 Pre-Made Directions Pages – 16 prepositions // 440 directions On/Off On/Under In/Out In/On Top/Middle/Bottom Outside/Inside Next to/In Front Between Over/Under Above/Below Editable directions pages to create your own directions – simply click the highlighted text box and begin typing. ✅ DIRECTIONS Print and then either laminate or place in sheet protectors for multiple uses.

The traditional name for these comes from Polish,and they are now officially called "musti suktinukai", but the old name is still popular. This is a stuffed beef roll,a bit different from the more familiar German rouladen. Sandwich steaks are a great way to shortcut the prep. If you can get dried baravykai (porcini), the flavor is much enhanced, but don't worry about it if you cannot. Serve with mashed potatoes and a green veggie. Leftovers reheat and freeze very well.
