Original Prompt

Create a social story about Joel waiting his turn during whole group while Ms. Comer is teaching. This also means that Colbyous, Arya, Jacky, Xander, Giselle, Abi, Jesus, and Manny should not be talking while Ms. Comer is talking. Their voice is quiet when the teacher is talking. This is for a moderate to severe kindergarten class with response delayed students and students that use LAMP or an AAC model to communicate.

This resource outlines a teacher guide for a social story titled 'Waiting My Turn,' aimed at kindergarten students with moderate to severe needs. It provides a structured session of 15-30 minutes where students learn essential classroom etiquette such as using quiet voices, taking turns to speak, and practicing listening skills. The story features characters from Ms. Comer's class and reinforces positive behaviors through role play and interactive activities. Visual supports and AAC devices are included to aid communication. The guide emphasizes the importance of being a good listener and friend, contributing to a friendly classroom environment.
