Therapy Dog Door Signs – Keep Your Classroom Calm & Organized 🐶🚪 A therapy dog in school is wonderful—but clear communication makes it even better! When a therapy dog is part of your school, it’s important that everyone—students, teachers, and visitors—knows how to interact appropriately. Sometimes the dog is available for visits, sometimes resting, and other times they need a quiet space to recharge. Instead of constantly reminding students when it’s okay to interact, these removable door signs do the work for you! With simple, easy-to-read messages, these signs help set clear expectations so that students respect the therapy dog’s needs while still enjoying all the benefits of having one at school. 🐾 Why These Signs Are Helpful for Any Therapy Dog Program ✔ Prevents classroom disruptions – No more students knocking or entering at the wrong time. ✔ Helps students learn respect – Teaches kids to recognize when the therapy dog needs rest. ✔ Perfect for schools, counseling offices, and classrooms – Works anywhere a school therapy dog is present. ✔ Easy to switch – The signs are removable, so you can update them as needed throughout the day. ✔ Kid-friendly design – Simple words and visuals make it easy for even young students to understand. 📌 What’s Included? 📜 A Set of Printable Therapy Dog Door Signs 🐶 "Therapy Dog Inside – Please Enter Quietly" 🐶 "Therapy Dog Resting – Do Not Disturb" 🐶 "Therapy Dog on a Break – Will Be Back Soon" ✔ Clear and student-friendly wording ✔ Easy-to-print format for flexible use 💡 How to Use These Signs in Your School 📍 Print & laminate for durability. These signs will last all year with lamination! 📍 Attach with Velcro or a removable adhesive. This makes it quick and easy to change the sign depending on the therapy dog’s schedule. 📍 Place them at the classroom or office door. Anywhere the therapy dog is working or resting, these signs help students understand what to do. 📍 Let students take responsibility. Assign a student helper to change the sign when needed—it’s a great way to involve them in learning about animal care and respect. Why Teachers Love These Signs ✔ "My students used to walk in loudly, but now they stop and check the sign first!" ✔ "It’s made a big difference—fewer interruptions, and our therapy dog is much calmer." ✔ "I laminated them, and now they’re a daily part of our routine. So helpful!" 🐶 A Simple Solution for a Well-Organized Therapy Dog Program Bringing a therapy dog into a school setting is such a rewarding experience, but a little structure makes it even smoother. These removable therapy dog door signs help set clear expectations so that both students and the therapy dog feel safe and comfortable. 📥 Print them today and make your school’s therapy dog experience even better! 🐾✨ 📍 Best wishes, Heike from Lernfitness Did You Know?

Explore the quantum revolution with The Quantum Leap: Unlocking the Mysteries of Quantum Computing for Teens, written by Syed Hammad Rizvi – a comprehensive resource for upfront and center students interested in innovative and advanced applications in computer science and related physics and technological domains. A thorough and correct resource on understanding complex ideas such as a bit compared to a qubit, quantum superpositions and entanglements, quantum gate and quantum circuit designs, Shor's algorithm and Grover's algorithm, and further applications in drug development simulation, economic modeling simulation, climate simulation modeling, and quantum cryptography beyond post-quantum cryptography. This 351-page book serves a thorough introduction to computer and physics students who are interested in understanding advanced computer applications and related physics. The Quantum Leap serves a detailed platform for students to learn about quantum paralleling, quantum correction, and quantum internet connectivity. Perfectly effective and aptly SEO-ed for educators on quantum mechanics resources and applications. A necessary read for students and professionals interested in quantum physics and computer applications. Why Parents/Schools Love It: Sparks STEM Passion: Makes the concept of quantum computing easy to understand for teens by comparing it to things they know and love, sparking their interest in the technological applications of the future such as artificial intelligence and cryptography. Teaches Future-Proof Skills: The course deals with applications, ethics, and future career options, providing students with knowledge required for in-demand jobs in quantum technology. Accessible and Engaging: Step-by-step analyses and context knowledge provided help make difficult subjects more accessible, overcoming intimidation factors and encouraging critical thinking. Comprehensive Curriculum Fit: It is compatible with the computer science and physics curriculum of high schools and is very suitable for being incorporated in the classroom or homeschooling settings. Encourages Ethical Awareness: It deals with the effects, limitations, and initiatives taken around the world, thus instilling ethical innovation in the minds. Target Student Classes: Having considered the entire contents and structure of this book and its intended audience from various perspectives such as its front cover and introduction chapters, it is intended for high school students from Grades 10 to 12 and aged 15 to 18 years. It commences from a level of basic discussion on classical and quantum fundamentals such as superpositions and entanglement concepts and then proceeds to more complex aspects of quantum studies such as algorithms and error correction strategies based on assumed foundational knowledge and interests but without rigorous prerequisite knowledge. Hence it is intended for high school seniors enrolled in introductory computer science studies at college or more in-depth math and physics studies at school levels above Grades 9; it may also serve Grade 9 students who take more challenging subjects at school and college-level new students at introductory stages as add-on reading contents, while its mainstream audience would be Grades 10 to 12 students in line with its teen-level comparison aids and refraining from more mature themes of mathematics chapters.

Fall Domino Game – Numbers and Number Words 0–30
Holiday & Seasonal, Language Development, ELA, Special Resources, Special Education Needs (SEN), Math, Early Math, Numbers, Seasons, Fall, Preschool, Grade 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, Activities, Games, Worksheets & Printables, Quizzes and Tests, Teacher Tools, Quizzes, Projects, Flashcards, Centers
Fall Domino Game Numbers 0–30 and Number Words This autumn domino game is a hands-on way for students to practice both numbers and number words from 0 to 30. I introduced it during the fall term with my grade 1 class, and the students immediately understood the rules because it follows the familiar domino format. The seasonal design added a nice touch, but the main benefit was the repeated practice with connecting numbers and words. The set includes 68 cards in total, with two different versions. One version shows the standard number words, while the second version breaks the words into syllables. I noticed that the syllable version was especially helpful for younger readers or for students who still found longer number words challenging. Words such as “seventeen” or “twenty-four” became easier to read and pronounce when broken down into smaller parts. The game can be adjusted by number range, which makes it easy to differentiate. With beginners, I often start with 0–10 so that the game feels manageable. Later I expand the set to 0–20, and eventually the full 0–30 for more advanced groups. Because of this flexibility, the same set can be reused throughout the year with different levels of learners. There are several ways to play. In small groups, students take turns matching numbers with the correct number words, trying to be the first to play all their cards. In a whole-class setting, I sometimes spread the cards across the floor and let students work together to build one long domino chain. This version turns the game into a collaborative activity and gets everyone moving while still practicing number recognition. Preparation is simple. Print the cards, cut them apart, and laminate them if you want to reuse the set in future years. I keep mine in small envelopes labeled with 0–10, 0–20, and 0–30 so I can quickly pull the right range for each group. The activity works well in math centers, small group rotations, or even as a fun review during October. Warm regards, Lernfitness Did You Know? I teach with a certified therapy dog, and together we focus on creating a positive and inspiring learning environment.

Exploring Amazing Jobs - Adaptive interactive book
Career, Life Studies, Special Education Needs (SEN), Special Resources, Grade 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, Read Alouds, Activities
Exploring Amazing Jobs Interactive Flip Book introduces young learners to eight careers in a hands-on way. With real like illustrations and interactive story elements, children get to explore the tools and roles that make each profession unique—whether it's the firefighter's hose, the doctor's stethoscope, the builder's hammer, or the chef's whisk. This book hopes to spark curiosity for the many different jobs that help our world work together. Learners will match picture cards to the key tools of each job. For example, when learning about a builder, they'll match the hammer card; when meeting a chef, they'll find the whisk; and when exploring an astronaut, they'll select the telescope. Other tools, such as a watering can, paintbrush, and book, encourage children to connect various professions with the equipment used in those roles. Early learning about different jobs is essential because it helps to understand the diversity of roles that contribute to society. It also introduces the idea that every job, no matter how different, is valuable. This activity book is specifically designed for early elementary students and special education learners. It promotes active participation, improves comprehension skills, and enhances their understanding of the tools and tasks associated with various professions. The simple and clean illustrations help children focus on details while engaging in the matching activities. Printing and Assembly Instructions Print the document in landscape orientation. Page 1 of the PDF provides a visual guide for the activity, while the interactive story begins on Page 2 of the download. Assembling the activity book is an easy project that results in a personalized educational tool for your students. Follow these steps to create your activity book: Download and print all pages of the activity book. Do not cut the first two pages of the document. Page 1 is a visual guide for the activity, and Page 2 is the title page of the book. These should be laminated along with the rest of the pages. Laminate all pages of the activity book to make them durable and long-lasting. You can use a laminating machine or visit a local print shop for lamination. Cut out all pages along the dotted lines, but be careful not to cut the front and back pages of the book. Cut out all individual squares and attach velcro to the areas where symbols for velcro are indicated. This will allow kids to stick and remove the squares from the book. Once all squares have velcro attached, assemble the activity book by coil binding it or hole-punching the pages and placing them in a binder. Enjoy! IFIO Girl I'll Figure It Out

SEL Presentations Boom Deck-Traffic Light Feelings With Audio
Special Resources, Social Emotional Learning (SEL), Special Education Needs (SEN), Social Skills, Speech Therapy, Kindergarten, Preschool, Grade 1, 2, Teacher Tools, Presentations, Activities
In this SEL Boom Deck SEL presentation, there are 24 playing task cards with audio so there is no reading required. There are also 7 informational cards with audio as well. Students will learn about traffic light feelings. There are different intensity levels of feelings and each one is a certain color. For example, red means stop-this is when one is feeling angry, unsafe, really upset or scared. Yellow means slow down; feelings associated with yellow are worried, silly, excited, distracted in class and frustrated. Green means go-the feelings associated with green are happy, calm, proud, and focused. Students will click on either the red, yellow or green light image at the bottom of every page. There is a prompt to have students share what strategies can be used if someone is red or yellow and need to calm down. Some of the examples given in the Boom Deck are; Adam was nervous about the first day of school, Yani was frustrated that his friend was not playing by the rules, Sam knocked down his tower because he was upset about not having more red blocks, Julie was happy it was yoga day in P.E. today, Chase was super scared about the shadow of the cactus, Gigi felt grateful for her birthday present, Evan was super excited it was carnival day at school, Pari was feeling scared about the thunder and lightening, and many more child relatable scenarios. This lesson can be used for preschool, kindergarten, first grade and second grade. This lesson will help students self-regulate by encouraging them to identify and manage those strong feelings many students (and adults) have throughout the day. This Boom Deck is a great extension activity after my other lesson on traffic light feelings here: https://teachsimple.com/product/traffic-light-feelings-lesson-an-sel-self-regulation-tool Please visit Boom Learning for Terms of Use for their decks.

Phonic Worksheets for Early Years/Intervention - Growing Bundle
Special Resources, ELA, Special Education Needs (SEN), Language Development, Pre-Reading, Phonics, Reading, Spelling, Kindergarten, Preschool, Grade 1, 2, Teacher Tools, Lesson Plans, Worksheets & Printables, Worksheets, Activities, Games
This is a pack of Bumper Pack of 14 (to date) books of phonic worksheets for the digraphs: L blends, CK, SH, CH, TH, OO, EE, OR, AR, A-E, I-E, O-E, U-E, AI and EA especially designed for those with special needs, including those with dyslexia or who may be suspected of being dyslexic but will work equally well with young learners in Kindergarten/EYFS/Y1. These sheets are LETRS and UK GOV requirements aligned. These worksheets also align with the most popular phonic programmes, including RWI and Letters and Sounds. What is included? PDF's of worksheets each covering the sounds: L Blends. CK, SH, CH, TH, OO, EE, OR, AR, A-E, I-E, O-E, U-E, AI and EA, all following my special method devised as I privately tutor children of all ages with profound special needs. Over 180+ Worksheets: Your phonics lessons covered! Tracking, fluency triangles, spelling, reading, games, comprehension exercises....and more! Some sounds contain print-and-go games to make learning fun. AR and A-E each contain a board game. Who are these worksheets for? I have written them for pupils who struggle with processing information - especially sounds. This includes children who are DYSLEXIC or have ANY other kind of processing disorder. Such children may have failed with other methods of teaching phonics. Such pupils need activities that: ·are highly structured - one tiny step at a time building on the one before using only a limited number of words to start with and only using words that the child has already learnt to sound out, with no nasty surprises. ·Have only a little on each pageas these pupils tire easily. What makes these worksheets special? I have a powerful three-step process which I use with my special needs pupils, which is worked out over the course of the 12 worksheets: 1. See it!where we focus on becoming aware of the new sound in words. This involves first hearing the new sound in words and then seeing it in words (tracking). 2. Sound-it-out!Having learnt to see the new sound in words, we learn to sound out these words to read and write them. We begin by usingsound-it-out boxesfor reading and spelling which help the child to segment the word prior to blending the sounds together. Once the child can read and write individual words, we work on fluency by building familiarity with the common words in the new sound family. Once the child can sound the words out to read and spell confidently, we move on to recognising them/using them in longer reading and dictation passages, as soon as the child is able. I provide 2 reading passages with comprehension exercises and one dictation passage, with a page in the workbook dedicated to it, with room for a picture, which again cements understanding. 3. Write it! Incorporated into the above two steps, we constantly write the new sound. This adds a multi-sensory dimension to our work - we see with our eyes, we sound it with our mouth parts and voice, and then we move by writing. All three steps work together to help the child feel in control of his/her learning and to become a successful, confident learner. We finish each sound (except the Consonant L-Blends) with a dictation which culminates our work before we move on to the next sound. I try to give this a week after we finish the book, to act as revision. The dictation: Read this passage to your pupil, who should write it. Have the child read his/her work and check for errors. Make sure the writing is completely accurate before saying the child has finished, including full stops and capital letters correctly used. Flashcards are included in most books. Phonic Games are also included for AR and A-E to make learning more fun! What is included? 10 PDFs totalling 150 + worksheets each covering the sounds: CK, SH, CH, TH, OO, EE, OR, AR, A-E, I-E, O-E, U-E, AI and EA, 2 PDF games for AR and A-E in full colour and black and white

Uncover the best social emotional learning (SEL) curriculum for grades 3-6 in "Emotional Intelligence Building Blocks - Social Emotional Learning" by Syed Hammad Rizvi, especially designed for elementary-school-going children. With a total of 432 pages of in-depth information, this book maximizes 8- to 12-year-olds' ability to handle their internal world of emotions while developing high-quality social skills, such as mastering personal management skills and responsible decision-making. Full of exciting topics in each installments like recognizing happiness, sadness, anger, fear, and many more, this social emotional learning middle school workbook delves deep into self-awareness, self-management tools like journaling, breathing exercises, goal setting, social awareness with a focus on empathy, body language, and cultural differences. Designed to be highly beneficial for homeschoolers, classroom teaching, or family usage, this social-emotional learning middle school curriculum not only provides exercises to handle conflicts, make friends, and enhance positive thinking but is specifically designed to help in overcoming emotional difficulties by teaching kids to be emotionally intelligent individuals throughout their lives. It is a highly recommended teaching tool for all parents, tutors, and teachers looking for scientifically valid emotional intelligence exercises to be performed by kids in their classroom. Why Parents/Schools Love It: In-Depth SEL Resource: Provides students with a clear continuum of skills from recognizing emotions to applying concepts in a real-life setting. Helps students learn to be resilient, empathetic, and effective conflict resolvers. Practical and Engaging Tools: This category includes solutions such as journaling, breathing exercises, and goal-setting tasks, which require minimal effort to perform in the comfort of one's home or an educational setting in order to promote instant emotional development. Encourages Positive Relations: Deals with skills like listening, boundary marking, and celebrating diversity. Has the effect of reducing misbehavior and increasing positive associations with family, friends, and the broader community. Aligned with Educational Standards: Based on the principles of Emotional Intelligence, the resource is useful for both homeschooling and classroom education as it impacts academic success, health, and bullying intervention. Empowering for Lifelong Skills: It promotes self-discovery and optimistic outlooks, arming children with skills to conquer life's obstacles, resulting in happier and more confident people as manifested in parent and teacher feedbacks. Target Classes/Students : Based on the complete analysis of the content, structure, language, and examples in the book, it is ideally targeted at students in grades 3 to 6 (usually between 8-12 years old). The content uses vocabulary suitable for this age group, scenarios that are easy for students of this age to relate to, such as school challenges and playground and family dynamics, and progresses gradually from simple emotion identification to complex issues such as ethical dilemmas and community involvement. The introductory tone assumes basic reading skills without burdening the younger reader, while the substance in the later chapters on self-awareness and social dynamics fits well with the upper elementary levels. It could extend to advanced grade 2 students or remedial grade 7, but the core focus is perfectly in tune with middle childhood development stages emphasized in the book.

Short Vowels: 10 Decodable Reading Books + Supporting Worksheets/Games
ELA, Language Development, Pre-Reading, Phonics, Spelling, Special Education Needs (SEN), Special Resources, Kindergarten, Preschool, Grade 1, 2, Literacy Readers, Teacher Tools, Worksheets, Worksheets & Printables, Games, Activities
This is a set of ten lessons for struggling readers to help them develop reading fluency. The lessons cover short vowel words with and without a consonant blend. It includes 10 lessons, 10 decodable Reading Books, 10 matching PowerPoint presentations of the books + 10 packs of worksheets - a pack to support each book. This 10-week curriculum focuses on short vowel sounds and is designed for struggling readers. It includes 10 decodable reading books, each with only 10 new words per book to prevent cognitive overload. This pack is designed for children who have already learned to blend words with a short vowel sound, with both three and four sounds, but have not yet attained reading fluency. We study the ten words in each vowel sound, five each week, and then practice by using the activity pack. The child becomes very familiar with these five words. The child can then be given the next reading book and, to his/her great surprise, can read the book quite fluently without having to decode nearly every word. This gives the child an enormous boost. The process seems, in my experience, to help the child learn what is needed, once they can sound out words _ it helps them to learn how to store the words in the long-term memory, and I find it gets easier and easier as we go through the programme. The worksheets provide multi-sensory activities to help the child develop: Flashcards of the relevant words for each sound Phonemic awareness Strengthen consonant blends, which these children often find hard Tracking skills, which are again poor for many of these children Word differentiation - we tackle confusion words head-on (e.g. big/pig) Comprehension - as reading becomes more fluent, we can now build comprehension Fun print and go games And much, much more! The systematic, repetitive nature of this program makes it suitable for students with special needs, including those with dyslexia, cerebral palsy, or general learning disabilities. Ideal for small groups or one-on-one instruction, it helps develop reading fluency, phonetic awareness, and early writing skills. Teachers praise the simple download-and-print format that allows students worldwide to benefit. After completing this introductory short vowels pack, students can progress to more advanced phonics. This pack is followed by our decodable readers and PowerPoints, which continue in the same way: https://teachsimple.com/product/phonic-readers-matching-worksheets-and-powerpoint-pack-1-ck

Who Has It? – Main Group Elements Game - 6 Levels of Differentiation

Who Has It? – Main Group Elements Game (6 Levels of Differentiation) A chemistry card game to review the main group elements in a structured and playful way (Grades 7–10) 🧪🎯 This classroom game is based on the “I have… who has?” format and helps students review the main group elements of the periodic table. It focuses on atomic numbers, element symbols, and – depending on the level – the correct element names. The game format encourages full-class participation, supports recall through repetition, and helps even quieter students get involved in a low-pressure way. The special feature: six levels of differentiation , so you can tailor the material to your students’ abilities. Whether you teach a mixed-level group or want to build in progression over time, these sets offer plenty of flexibility. What’s included: 3 card sets × 2 difficulty paths = 6 levels total Each set contains 52 cards (156 cards total) Elements included: all main group elements up to element 118 Levels range from fully labeled to no element names at all Clear instructions for printing, cutting, and gameplay Differentiation overview: Levels 1 & 2: All names included Levels 3 & 4: Only “I have” part includes names Levels 5 & 6: No names – only symbols and atomic numbers How to use in class: In my own lessons, I’ve used this as a review after teaching atomic structure or periodic trends. It works well as a class opener, during stations, or even in a substitute lesson. The A/B sets are helpful when students sit close together – it prevents copying but keeps everyone working on the same task. Students enjoy the rhythm of the game, and because every card depends on the one before, they naturally stay attentive. It’s a great way to combine repetition with interaction. Low-prep, flexible, and genuinely useful for learning chemical elements in a collaborative setting. Best, Heike from Lernfitness Did You Know? I teach with a certified therapy dog, and together we create a positive and welcoming learning environment. 🐶

Fall Alphabet Match Game – Uppercase and Lowercase Letter Center
Holiday & Seasonal, ESL, Language Development, ELA, Special Resources, Special Education Needs (SEN), Children’s Literature, Literature, Seasons, Fall, Preschool, Grade 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, Activities, Games, Worksheets & Printables, Task Cards, Quizzes and Tests, Teacher Tools, Quizzes, Projects, Flashcards, Word Problems
Fall Alphabet Match Game Uppercase and Lowercase Letter Center Spot It Style Cards for Early Literacy This fall-themed alphabet game is a playful way for students to practice uppercase and lowercase letters. The activity is based on a “find the match” system: each card has exactly one letter in common with another card, and students have to be the first to spot it. I have used this kind of game format with kindergarten and first grade, and it usually gets the whole group involved quickly. The set includes 93 cards in total, divided into three different versions of 31 cards each. There are round cards, hexagons, and squares. I usually prepare the square version when I need something quick to cut, but the round cards feel more like a traditional game and always catch students’ attention. The hexagons are a nice option if you want a different look. Each card shows six pictures, with the letters hidden among them, so students have to focus closely to find the match. This type of activity works well for building letter recognition, both uppercase and lowercase. It also helps with visual perception, concentration, and taking turns in a group setting. In my classroom, I sometimes keep the game in a literacy center, and other times I use it as a quick warm-up before a reading lesson. It is flexible enough to use in small groups, partner work, or even as an early finisher option. The set also comes with tally sheets, which give students an extra chance to record their letters and practice writing. Some of my students liked keeping track of their matches this way, which turned the game into a mix of play and writing practice. Preparation is simple: print the cards, cut them apart, and laminate if you want them to last longer. Once made, they store easily in a small envelope or box and can be used again each fall. This resource is designed for kindergarten and the early grades, but older students sometimes enjoy it as a quick challenge too. The fall theme makes it seasonal, without being too spooky, so it works well throughout September, October, and November . Warm regards, Lernfitness Did You Know? I teach with a certified therapy dog, and together we focus on creating a positive and inspiring learning environment.

Beginning and Final Blends Flashcards
ELA, Phonics, Language Development, Pre-Reading, Special Education Needs (SEN), Special Resources, Grade 1, Flashcards, Worksheets & Printables, Games, Activities
Beginning and Final Blends Flashcards with pictures A set of beginning and final blends with both letters and matching pictures. This set covers the following beginning blends: sw, sk, st, sp, sl, sn, sm, bl, be, cl, cr, dr, fr, fl, gr, gl, pl, pr, tr, tw And the following final blends: ft, lk, nd , nt, mp, st, lt, sk, nk This set of consonant blends flashcards contains the blends a child will most likely need for their current reading/spelling level, if they are just learning to hear four sounds in a word with a short vowel sound. Once a child meets more advanced vocabulary, the child’s ability to decode will be such that they will no longer need consonant blends flashcards - the skill will be more or less automatic. A child does not need to know every consonant blend by heart. What is needed is the ability to hear the two sounds in a blend to spell and to blend two consonants to read. Phonemic awareness of the blends is a good place to start. How to use the Beginning and Final Blends Flashcards with pictures: ·If you print the letters and their matching pictures back to back, you will have a set of self-correcting cards with which a child can practice reading the consonant blends. ·If you print the letters and pictures separately, then you can let the child match letters to pictures, selecting just as many as the child can cope with, at a given time. For some children, learning the consonant blends is not an easy skill, so it may be advisable, once the child has an idea of what is needed, to move on to the next skill, as there will be plenty of opportunities to practice the blends as the child progresses through a phonic programme.

Anxiety Social Story For Identifying Triggers & Coping Skills
Resources for Teachers, Special Resources, Social Emotional Learning (SEL), Special Education Needs (SEN), Life Skills, Kindergarten, Preschool, Grade 1, 2, 3, Worksheets & Printables, Activities
This anxiety social story will help students learn all about identifying triggers, specifically with anxiety, and introduces anxiety specific coping skills that they can use to self-regulate! Anxiety in our students is on the rise, and not just with students on the Autism Spectrum, but any of our students! And what I have found is that our students struggle to understand what makes them anxious or worried. This social story helps to alleviate that problem as it introduces common anxiety triggers that help students pinpoint exactly which situations cause them to feel stressed, scared, or even worried. After identifying triggers of anxiety, the story then discusses practical ways to calm themselves down, to help promote emotional regulation. And the best part is, the social story is just the tip of the iceberg! It includes coping skill cards and a choice board with multiple calming strategies that your students can use in their everyday lives! So not only are you introducing the concepts in the social story, but you are able to reinforce the concepts in the classroom as well! Needing a digital option? I’ve got you covered! This also includes a digital version of the story with the same concepts so that way you can use it for class lessons, in anxiety small groups, or even on a tablet!

SEL Boom Deck-Grateful or Disappointed? With Audio Plus Handout!
Special Resources, Social Emotional Learning (SEL), Social Skills, Special Education Needs (SEN), Elementary, Middle School, Activities, Worksheets & Printables
In this resource, students will learn the differences between feeling grateful and disappointed. These two feelings are essentially opposite one another. The 28 slide Boom Deck has 3 educational/introduction cards and 25 task playing cards. There is audio on each card so no reading is required. This can be done as a whole class group whereas each student can take a turn coming up to a interactive board and deciding which situation is being presented. Then the directions for the deck ask students to think of things the person in the situation could be grateful for in a disappointing situation. There are many examples of disappointing situations such as; not being able to play a volleyball game because a coach is out of town, not being able to have outdoor recess, a volcano not erupting, having to do homework instead of play with friends, a dog ruining a pair of shoes, a teacher asking a student to rewrite a paragraph, a special art class is being canceled, and not getting to go on a roller coaster at an amusement park, among others. There is a handout to print off for each student and have them reflect on a time they were disappointed and now looking back, what were they grateful for in that situation. This is a great Boom Deck to do during Thanksgiving but also throughout the entire year. This is great for grades two, three, four, five, and six. This will create some good conversations with students on looking for those grateful moments. Please review the Boom Deck terms of use and the ability to get a free trial. The explanation is on their website and I cannot insert it here due to the AI system recognizing it as duplicate information.

Phonic Reading Scheme: Fully Incremental For All Abilities GROWING SET
Special Resources, ELA, Special Education Needs (SEN), Language Development, Phonics, Reading, Homeschool Curriculum, Kindergarten, Literacy Readers, Teacher Tools, Games, Activities, Flashcards, Worksheets & Printables, Worksheets
A pack of 35 Phonic reading books with matching PowerPoints and workbooks to support learning. This is an incremental phonics reading scheme with a difference. Introducing just 10 words in each phonics family, the words are repeated from book to book, giving even those with very poor word recall the chance to learn to read fluently without having to decode every word. Ideal for dyslexics, or those suspected of being dyslexic and all children with a special need. These reading books make the pupil feel safe - they have already met every word introduced in the stories. They have the skills to read them themselves. This is empowering and confidence-building. You can view the first CK pack with a set of 30+ supporting activities and games FREE here. The books cover these sounds and must be taught in this order: CK; OO; SH; CH; ND/NT; NK; TH; NG; AR; OR; A-E; I-E, O-R, U-E, AI, EA, OA, IGH Rationale: It has long been proven that teaching children to decode is a powerful tool for teaching reading, as opposed to the Look and Say method. However, this has led to a proliferation of reading books that throw as many words with a shared phonics sound into a book as possible, not realising that some children with very poor word recall find it hard to recognise words when they see them again without much repetition. To combat this problem, while we recognise that, technically, once a child has been taught a new sound s/he can sound out many words with that new sound, when it comes to reading fluently a child needs a core set of words in each family that they can recognise, which can act as a launch pad as they gain confidence. These books have been designed accordingly. For each sound family, just 10 words are studied with the help of the workbooks and are then repeated throughout the books, each book building on the vocabulary that has already been learned, repeating it and including it in new phrases as new sounds are learned. As the programme progresses, new sounds from the learned families are incorporated to widen vocabulary, while taking care to maintain fluency. The books are designed to limit guessing (though most children will try and guess, which must be avoided at all costs). Pluses of this phonics reading programme Easy to print Cheap to buy compared with expensive reading schemes They are just as effective as the best reading programmes out there, and more importantly, they have been tried and tested on real children with severe difficulties and proven to work if the child is taught as outlined. Aligned with the aims and objectives of LETRS and the Science of Reading. They work! My pupils tell me if they don't work, so I re-edit them and try them before I put them out for the general public. Introduces most high-frequency words in the phonics family to which they belong, and gradually introduces genuine, non-decodable sight words into the text without causing overload or throwing the child off course. What is included? Each book is 12/16/20 pages long, with minimal colour pictures to make printing cheaper and to help tell the story when words are minimal Each book comes with a matching PowerPoint, making it suitable for online teaching, for private tutors, parents, classroom assistants, etc... All books come with supporting activities and games - 100s of worksheets! Scope and Sequence included I am writing a new book regularly, so this pack will quickly grow!

This 43-page digital PDF contains a facilitator's guide, theory, student workbook, and teacher resources, all rolled into one. Developed with the principles of neuroscience, psychology, and the Seasonal Cyclicality Model (SCM), this social and emotional learning program for kids takes students on a series of fun, gamified, and micro-level missions aligned with Autumn (self-awareness), Winter (social observation), Spring (social skills), and Summer (responsible decision-making). This social and emotional learning program for kids, tweens, and pre-teens is perfect for parents, teachers, and counselors who want to develop the cognitive empathy, emotional intelligence, and growth mindset of middle school students. A must-have for middle school emotional intelligence development, bullying prevention, and classroom community building. Instant download. Keywords: SEL curriculum for 4th to 7th grade, empathy workbook for middle school, social and emotional learning activities, tween emotional intelligence development, neuroscience-based SEL program. Why Parents/Schools Love It: Neuroscience-Based: Fuses the power of brain science with the ease of using Micro-Missions to develop empathy as a "muscle" that grows with repetition, creating a lifelong tool for children without overwhelming them. Seasonal Format: Utilizes the power of seasonal themes and activities to eliminate social anxiety issues with a "game" approach to SEL that integrates easily into the school year or home schedule. Comprehensive Resources Included: Provides facilitator guides, student worksheets, case studies, images, and teacher keys in one convenient PDF format for quick and effective implementation with proven results such as improved conflict resolution and self-regulation.

Proven Results through Real-Life Case Studies: Includes real-life examples of how children move from isolation to connection, giving parents and educators the power to see the impact on children's social skills and decisions. Target Classes/Students : After a thorough analysis of the entire content presented in the PDF, from the introduction to the chapters, case studies, worksheets, and teacher resources, the content is clearly targeted at students from grade 4 through grade 7 (approximately 9-13 years old). This is consistent with the "middle years" concept presented throughout the content, which covers neurological developments such as prefrontal cortex restructuring, synaptic pruning, and the progression from Erik Erikson's Industry vs. Inferiority stage to the Identity vs. Role Confusion stage. For example, grade 4 community projects, grade 5 integrations into the classroom, grade 6 self-awareness interventions, and grade 7 conflict resolutions. The content is applicable for homeschoolers, classrooms in public/private schools, after-school programs, and counseling sessions for the target age group, with modifications for neurodiverse students with ASD or NVLD.
