1st Task Creation for 2014

This is my first life skill task for 2014. Mailing letters is an everyday life skill good for any student to learn.  The post office task helps students learn how to label envelopes as well as follow task card directions. After labeling they will use corresponding number labels to place in the mail sorting box.

This task helps students with visual recognition, colors, following directions, word recognition, fine motor skills and life skills.

Finally Getting Back to Business

Hello All!

I am just now getting back to business and posting before the new year ends.  I had an accident a couple of weeks ago and dislocated my elbow...my right arm of course!

During my first couple of weeks I was not able to really type well or write.  I kind of slacked on keeping in touch. During this time I have been able to reflect on just what having a disability means even though mine is temporary. I have really been counting my blessings and learning to adapt the way we ask our students to do on a daily basis in the classroom.

I feel that I will have more patience and understanding because of my time spent in my arm brace. I no what it means to have limits and learning how to overcome them.

I hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas and I wish you all well in the coming New Year!!
