During ESY (Extended School Year/ Summer School) in special education it is always fun to incorporate themes! One of my favorite ESY themes is camping! Here is everything you need for the best camping theme and lesson plans in your ESY special education classroom this summer!
DECORATIONS
I really am about keeping it simple, but a few little decorations if you are going with an ESY theme makes things fun for you, your paras, and the students. Using a backdrop (affiliate link) to coverup things the students shouldn’t touch (like boxes that are packed for next year)
PLANNING GUIDE
My lesson Plans include a planning guide in case you have a sub or just for you to use!
CENTERS

Adapted Book Bonus

COMPREHENSION
If you have used Simple Special Ed’s resources before you know that we love leveled picture comprehension for promoting more independence and less prompting in student comprehension.
BINGO
We included 30 unique bingo boards and cards to make the end of the day fun! Students could even win a “bug” as a prize!
