Another upload tonight... this will be a great tool for kiddos with Asperger's Syndrome or on the Autism spectrum... enjoy!
Product Description:
When elementary students learn to follow directions, it begins a complimentary compliance with requests that improves their relationships with everyone! Young students sometimes have difficulty transitioning from one activity to another, especially students on the autism spectrum. Many times transitions causes anxiety or students just seem to be stuck and not be able to transition to the next task well. Because transitions can be difficult, use this packet of materials to help teach students how to transition effectively. This packet allows students to follow adults’ directions without whining, arguing, and/or complaining. In this packet is a set of visual, nonverbal signal cards that can serve as transition signals. These cards are very nonthreatening, non-obtrusive individualized approach to transitioning. A teacher can simply place a card on a student’s desk and walk away. Cards include “GO,” “slow down and breathe,” and “STOP!” Students are sure to respond to these cards and will receive an individualized warning that a transition time is approaching!

Happy Wednesday! Thrifty Classroom Management Help On the Way!
Good Evening All,
Well, we are halfway through the week and it has gone too fast! I hope all is well with you all this evening. This evening I have made some cue cards that students can keep at their desks for the teacher to easily monitor when students are having difficulty. Please see the product description below.
Product Description:
In this packet, you will find thirty sets of cue cards for students to use at their desk to alert you to how they are working independently. As you are monitoring the room, it is very easy to spot the yellow and red cue cards which let you know that some students are having a bit of difficulty. After establishing the “boundaries and ground rules” for using the cue cards, this tool can serve as a great instructional/classroom management tool. The green card indicates the student is working fine, the yellow card indicates the student is still working; however, he/she is having some difficulty, and the red card indicates that the student can not progress without help!

Happy Thursday! Solving Math Word Problems!
Good Afternoon All,
I took the day off and strolled on out to Canton! WOW! I loved it but was ready to come home at 12:30 so I decided I should work on a few things. As we all know, children have trouble in solving math reading word problems... this has always been an issue and concern with most math teachers. Students all need keys words to reference to give them an idea of what operation they should pursue... in doing so, I have designed some mini-posters to help with this concern... I hope this helps all of you as you teach children math! Happy Thursday!
Product Description:
In this set of mini-posters, you will find four posters for each of the basic operations– addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division. On each mini-poster, there are key words that serve as cues for the students when trying to persevere and solve math word problems and develop habits of mind for the Standards for Mathematical Practice. These posters are the perfect size for a bulletin board or placement right above the white board to reference to as one is teaching! The posters are designed to be eye-catching and definitely engage the students!

Super Saturday and SEC Football!
Hi Ya'll,
While Alan has to go and tailgate, picnic, and be AT the STATE game, I am content being at home with this cool breeze, windows up, and watching the games... so... I have created some "thinking posters" for you all to use with your students before they read, while they read, and after they read! I hope you enjoy! Fall is a great time of the year!
Product Description:
In this packet, you will find six mini-posters perfect for a bulletin board or above your whiteboard. These posters can be used to guide the thinking process as students are involved with a reading selection– fiction as well as nonfiction. Students should always think about what they read before they read, as they read, and after they have finished reading the selection, and these posters help them do just that! Each poster gives a key word to consider.
These words include: connect, picture, summarize, predict, question, and evaluate!
This is a great reference tool for students that you don’t want to miss!
