We, as special needs teachers, are facilitators of our student’s experiences. We need to be teaching life skills to students of any age! I often find myself making things simple for my students because they “have it hard enough as it is.” I don’t give them the opportunity to feel frustrated, struggle or even fail.
The benefit to having a curriculum guide ready to go at the start of the school year is that it saves so much time figuring out what to teach each month. You’re able to pull up the document really quickly and begin creating lessons based on what you came up with. If you’re wanting to do this for next year to be a step ahead, keep reading to read some easy steps to making it!
Teacher truth: Sometimes we watch movies on Fun Fridays! I know most people think the teacher is lazy and it’s not educational. I beg to differ though. There are some important skills that can be taught when you show a movie in class (or if you go on a CBI to the movie theater). Here are a few things I do to make it functional & educational.
A Kids Book About focuses on sharing and telling stories to kids that may have difficult topics for even us adults to talk about.
Sensory friendly classrooms are ALL the rage. Let it be known, this is not a passing fad. We ALL have sensory systems! This is one of the main reasons why I am super passionate about classrooms being sensory friendly.
We all know that we are short staff this school year. There are high staff shortages. There is no denying that. We are down custodians, bus drivers, support staff, administration and teachers. Every school has open positions available. It’s been a crazy year.
