We are using the new resources for our \"Creative Minds\" project time each week. Students work in collaborative groups and build to make creations that resemble instructions provided or free play. Students worked together to build new Lego sets or sensory bins with free design of their choice. They then use their creation to write narratives about their work. \r\n\r\nThe students eyes lit up and their excitement was vocalized with \"awesome and this is so fun!!\". They wanted to spend more time when our timer went off for the next lesson planned for the day. They did not want to stop creating and collaborating! \r\n\r\nMy next project available are two different ones. One is called \"Habitat Creation Sensory Bin!\". This project supports our Habitat unit we will start in the new year. The other project available for donations is called \"Feed Your Body; Feed Your Mind!\" . This project supports helping my students have healthy snacks that will promote learning and growing. \r\n\r\nThank you for donating to my class. It truly makes my day when I see the email.

Wow!!\r\n\r\nReading in my classroom is varied as my students have challenging reading needs; however, with both of these magazines, we read aloud and do \"popcorn\" reading.

It is a great way to engage all learners and increase their confidence as they are reading words! \r\n\r\nAll of my students enjoy the engaging and fun activities that are provided at the end of the magazines.

After they write from our \"Reader's Response\" lesson, they are able to use the new markers to draw and illustrate their sentences.\r\n \r\nThe students loved opening up our boxes and discovering the new resources. I would pass around the box for the students to shake and try to guess what they thought it might be based upon weight, size and sound from shaking the box! \r\n\r\nThe next project I have posted that I would LOVE to get funded is called, \"Feed Your Body; Feed Your Mind\".

So it is a very big deal for life skill development! \r\n\r\nMy next project is \"Please & Thank You; Learning Restaurant Etiquette\". Seems like a simple concept, but the lunchroom monitors tell me that these skills of eating together are NOT a simple concept. For this project, we will focus on table etiquette; such as appropriate conversation, manners, respect for food, waiting, and so much more. My goals for my students are for them to learn and model proper restaurant etiquette and respect others while dining. We will also learn how to set the table correctly with visual placemats from \"Silicone Baby Placemat, Kids Placemats for Dining Table, Montessori Placemat\". I want to teach the next generation to be respectful & mindful of others while dining. Sadly it is lacking in our culture today. It is a skill needed for life.
