Do you have students working on budgeting and making purchases? These budgeting units are my favorite way to work on money skills! The Department Store Budgeting Unit includes prices up to $50 so students get to practice budgeting and making a purchase with $1, $5, $10, and $20 bills. The task cards are my favorite part! I made it super easy for you to print and start using immediately with data sheets, sample IEP goals and learning objectives. This new unit has just been added to my store and is 25% off today when you use the code FORYOU21. Head to my profile and click the link in my bio to grab your copy.

Do you struggle with teaching writing in your special education classroom? Writing is such a broad subject and there’s so many skills to cover. It’s easy to get overwhelmed. I wish there was a perfect program that broke it down and made it easy to teach, but let’s be real, we teach special education and there’s not a lot of programs out there that are designed for our students. When Heather from @full_sped_ahead reached out about a guest blog post, I thought writing would be a perfect topic! In this post, I wrote about how I break down my writing units and explicitly teach writing in my classroom. You can read more by clicking on the link in my profile. Questions? I’d love to answer them in a follow up blog post.

Surprised my amazing team of paras with breakfast yesterday. Paraprofessional Appreciation Day is April 7 and we will be on spring break so we celebrated early. I am so lucky to have such an awesome team. They’ve made this year so much easier and I couldn’t do it without them!

I almost made it! Taking a few extra days for Spring Break this year and I’ve never been more excited! My Spring Break officially starts today at 3:15 pm, or as soon as I finish my sub plans. 😂 Have you had your Spring Break yet?
