Less than $5 Staff Life Skills Resources (by date, oldest first)

Setup your sensory rom with ease using this Sensory Room Bundle. Take your sensory room to the next level with this bundle. Students and adults can quickly find sensory activities based on students needs.

Each items listed below is available in two fonts including a primary font.

Included:

★Sensory Room Rules Poster with visuals
★Mini SCHEDULE cards and the VISUALS that go with them
★Common Core Standards and TEKS to post in different areas of the room to display (because you are TEACHING when you're in your sensory room).
★Also, there are EIGHT SENSORY POSTERS (Auditory, Visual, Olfactory, Gustatory, Proprioceptive, Vestibular, and Tactile), all with indicators and activities to meet the sensory needs of each student.

You, your paras, and even substitutes will have access to a quick guide to determine how to help students with a sensory processing disorder IMMEDIATELY!

***These are recommendations for students with sensory needs but should never replace advice or orders from a doctor.

Scheduling students and staff members can be difficult in a self-contained classroom. This editable schedule allows for you to customize your daily activities so that you can look at a glance and know where everyone of your staff and students should be. This really helps classroom staff as well as administrators know where to find teachers, paras, and students.

This sensory room grant was awarded and funded in 2018.

I have won over $10,000 in grants for special education in my classroom and district. This particular grant was for $3,795.16 of sensory room equipment. Please note that prices change and this part of the grant will need to updated.

This grant is attached as a word document to make editing it an ease. You can choose to go with the equipment requested in my grant or change it out to what your sensory room needs.

This is the perfect grant to get your sensory room up and going.

Special Education Communication Daily Log: Daily School to Home Communication Form

This daily communication log is vital to any special education teacher. This easy to fill out communication log creates a collaborative relationship between staff and families while building trust and strong relationships.

☏Keep parents informed of how students are doing at school and which activities they are completing each day while giving parents the opportunity to share vital information such as medications given and how students slept the night before.

☑This form is in black and white and can be printed on white or colored paper.

★I recommend print large sets, hole punching, and placing in folder for easy on the go log completion.

When a new student comes to class there are several things that take priority to everything else. I made this document after enrolling several new students this year. It has simplified my life tremendously by having a guide to go by when speaking with parents of new students. It also helps tremendously to fill out one of these on each student at the beginning of the year so that paras and teachers have a quick guide to go by per student.

This is a fifteen-page guide to getting started in a self-contained special education or life skills classroom. Included are descriptions, helpful hints, and pictures from actual classrooms.

The following topics are covered:

Scheduling

Lesson Planning

Classroom Management

Classroom Setup

Communication

Sensory

Testing
