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.

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

How to prep your 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.
