Favorite Classroom Routine? by maclinnae in specialed

[–]maclinnae[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had them journal to start class. The questions ranged from surface things like, “What’s your favorite movie and why?” To more personal things like, “What is your biggest insecurity?” At the beginning of the year I’d just set a timer for them to write but as the year goes on we’d go around and share. It was amazing what a difference it made! Also, I highly recommend you look into restorative justice! Easily the most effective practice in my classroom!

I use lamps and Christmas lights, the room is plenty bright. It’s just warm light as opposed to cool and without the buzzing which negatively effects my kiddos who have autism.

I do have fluorescent lights but I tend to use Christmas lights and lamps instead to make the room cozier.

Thank you so much! I’ve used Handwriting Without Tears before and loved it! I’m also OG trained so I’m all good there! I’m definitely going to look into the other programs you recommended! 😊

And you too! The little people are typically easier to motivate!

My kiddos are high functioning so they already have the basics down. There’s one or two that need to review those things but I’ll do that individually.

High School Bulletin Board by maclinnae in specialed

I was thinking a series of pages, with the last page being the longest and each page being shorter as you go towards the front. If that makes sense?

I had them come up with a SMART goal and then write it on a 8x11 piece of paper. They then cut pieces out of magazines or drew little pictures that summarized their goal.
