Valentine's Day Order Match and Money Math Task

 Good morning!

With Valentine's Day approaching I wanted to provide a fun task for the classroom or home to help students learn order matching skills and adding orders. This task works well for learners being introduced to currency and money math as well as students in the special needs community that need transition tasks in the multi learning level classroom.

Valentine Sweet Shop Order and Money Addition Matching Task is my latest task just in time for Valentine's Day!

Please click on the link above for description of the product and feel free to browse other products that may work well for your students' needs for the upcoming holiday!

Thank you for your interest! 

 Good morning!

I want to share my newest task just posted today. Pizza Toppings Matching Task

My time in special education working with students with special needs was a very rewarding time. One of the skills these high school age students needed was to learn introductory skills that would be useful for future employment. One skill is to follow customer orders and paying attention to detail. This task helps students with word to ingredient recognition with help of the included poster. Students will use this poster as an aid to match words on customer order cards and then matching the pizza to each order until all 30 orders are complete. (sample image of task)

I have several other vocational tasks to browse through in my store Adaptive Tasks

Please feel free to browse to see if this product or others meet your students' needs.

Thank you!

Back Again

 Good afternoon, Everyone,

I wanted to touch base with you all and share why I have been absent from blogging the past couple of years. My husband was diagnosed with stage 4 colon can in May of 2023. I was a hard-fought battle, and he showed such great strength, but he lost his battle August 2025 and is home with our Heavenly Father. I miss my husband dearly and spent my time being by his side at every appointment and simply just trying to spend quality time together.

I am back now, creating new products for my TpT store and learning how to navigate the days ahead without him by my side. I love having my store in Teachers Pay Teachers because it allowed me the time to do what I needed and still be here for me to continue my business. 

I look forward to creating again and making products that help students with hands on skills in the special needs classroom and beyond.

Thank you for following my blog and I hope to post weekly, giving myself grace if I need time away here and there.

Here is one of my latest products, School Lunch Binder Task

This task can be used to help student learn to match lunch orders by visual recognition. It is meant to be binder style and works well for independent tasks or visual object cards for speech therapy.

Enjoy this task and many more by clicking this link to Adaptive Tasks and browsing through my store for products that may fit your students' needs.

End of School Year Approaching

Hello!

It is that time of year again when the school year is about to end! All though this time of year brings excitement for the students many educators look for ways to fill in with extra tasks for transition times and quiet work because the end of the year also comes with extra testing for many students.

I have created various binder and matching tasks that help students with learning while providing independent task time while other students are completing their tests.

Please feel free to check out my latest products below as well as many others at my store to help add to your lesson planning and your students needs.

Thank you for what you do everyday in the classroom to provide for your students! Educators are a true blessing!

Hands on Learning

In recent years there has been so much focus on online learning especially during the times of the pandemic. While online learning is very useful the need to incorporate hands on learning is equally if not more important especially in the special needs community.

There is nothing more rewarding than seeing a student with certain challenges complete a task on their own. They feel a sense of pride knowing that they can complete a skill that they thought they never could do. It is amazing to present tasks to your students that give them a head start to understanding how things work, skills that are used at a job, and even skills needed around the home.

I found my passion working with students with special needs and providing tasks for them to help them be successful not only in the classroom but more importantly at home or on a job. One task I have in mind is an order filling task. https://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Product/Vocational-Customer-Order-Task-Verbal-and-Nonverbal-Version-4895773 

This vocational task helps the student learn important skills by filling orders for customers. I had students go on to work in hospitals filling patient tray orders to working in fast food helping to fill orders. Tasks that are hands on like this help them to receive the basics in following orders and filling them accurately.

I encourage you to provide as much hands on activities for your students. It gives them a sense of pride and accomplishment.

High Interest Tasks

Tasks that are of high interest to students helps the student to engage in the activity because it is something that they enjoy and will want to complete.

Some of the classroom favorites are my food related products. I for one am a fan of food and when presented in various ways, students can learn vocational skills, math skills, matching, etc. Peaking the students interest will help them to enjoy learning and to complete the task at hand.

Here are just two of the many tasks in my store that help with various skills:

Vocational Customer Order Task - Verbal and Nonverbal Version

This product helps the student to learn a vocational skill by filling customer orders and includes both verbal and nonverbal direction.

Binder Price Matching Task-Mexican Meals

This product is great for following a menu and adding up orders to find the cost of the meal which is a great life and math skill.

I invite you to look at these products and more to help create interest and provide for your students educational needs.

Nonverbal Performance Tasks

Nonverbal tasks are beneficial in helping students that have verbal limitations by following visual aids to complete tasks both at home or on the job. To help complete things like chores and meal preparation, visual prompts help show how to complete the task.

For vocational skills, students can learn to fill orders, stock shelves, assemble products, etc. all by following visual task cards to complete the task.

Here is one of many products I have in my store to help with matching skills and following direction with the use of visual task cards and matching objects. Feel free to browse my other nonverbal products by typing the word "Nonverbal" in the product search box in my store.

Happy New Year!

I want to wish each of you a happy and blessed new year!

The past year, as for many others I am sure, had its ups and downs. As I move forward into this new year, I will look at each new day with a focus on the positive and not let any of the negative in the world distract me. I begin each day lifting it up to my Lord and Savior, asking Him to guide me in all of my decisions, desiring Him above all else. When my days begin this way, I have a peace about my day and it helps me to stay focused on the good.

This week will be my first week of sharing things with you like new products, tips, and the joys in my life through images. Also, I will be sharing anything new from my daughters stores, CC's Classroom Creations and Education with Imagination. You can click on those page links on blog to keep in touch with the latest.
