Holiday gift giving can be tricky, so let’s chat about 5 Holiday Gift Ideas for Paraprofessionals. Our paraprofessionals work so hard all year, so the holiday season is a great time to give them a gift to show them how much you appreciate them. – Whitney, SSE Blogger
3. Visual Recipes for the Holidays
The holidays mean all sorts of yummy treats around home and school ( if you are lucky!) If you have been following me for long, you know that I LOVE cooking in the classroom and all the skills it touches on. What other lesson can hit life skills, fine motor, communication, reading, math, and science all in one? Cooking is FUN and a huge skill for our students to learn!
4. How to Start a Classroom Ornament Business
Have you every thought about starting a classroom business, but didn’t know where to start?

5. 10 Things to Buy a Special Education Teacher for Christmas
Special Education Teachers ALWAYS need something for their classroom. Here are some ideas for the special educator in your life this Christmas season (and beyond!)!
6. Fine Motor Christmas Tree Craft
One of my personal goals this year is to find more ways to integrate sensory and fine motor activities into my students days. Every academic activity we give our students can be modified to include fine motor or sensory.
7. Prepping Students for Christmas
All holidays are HARD. And many of our students need a little extra prep to be successful through the new foods, crowds, smells, and schedule changes. Prepping them using resources they are familiar with is a great way to keep anxiety low. When you expect what’s coming next, you’re more likely to be successful right?!, same goes for our students.
I hope these holiday blogs are helpful to you this holiday season!
Happy Holidays!
