• Conversation starters are always a fun way to build relationships. They can be used during the last few minutes of class, during advisory, or within your morning meetings. I especially love cards because you can let kids pick and read them on their own!⁣ Now... if you designed your own theme park, what would it be like?⁣ https://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Product/Conversation-Starters-2512113

  • As a special education, but more importantly as a human being, I think it's SO important to teach all kids how to be includers. An includer is someone who actively works to make sure everyone is included and has a space. We all have value. Every single one of us. Let's teach kids this from the start. ⁣ ⁣ This visual is from my Relationships Unit if you're interested: https://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Product/Relationship-Skills-Social-Emotional-Learning-Unit-for-Elementary-4806663

  • We all learn differently. It's important to value that.⁣ I'll never forget one day when a student of mine was laying on the counter doing their math work. An administrator walked in and gave me a strange look, like is that okay? YES, it's okay! That is how that particular student needed to be in order to do their work that day.⁣ Rather than expecting everyone to do everything exactly the same, let's respect and appreciate the fact that we all learn and work differently. It's actually a beautiful thing!

  • Discussing real life social scenarios is a great way to teach social skills. Here is one way to practice: Put kids in small groups and read (or make up) a social situation. It really can be any situation that causes them to stop and think before making a good social choice. Have kids discuss the scenario together and decide what the best choice is.⁣ You can even have kids themselves make up the scenarios once they get the hang of it!⁣ I developed this set specifically for older kids (link in profile), but I have an elementary set of task cards, too! Let me know if you need it!⁣ https://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Product/Social-Problem-Solving-Task-Cards-for-Middle-and-High-School-2026083
