a-e Phonic Game: 'E' or no 'E'? Print 'n Play!
Special Resources, ELA, Special Education Needs (SEN), Language Development, Pre-Reading, Phonics, Reading, Spelling, Kindergarten, Preschool, Grade 1, Activities, Games
Here is a simple, fun, print n' play phonic game to help children learn the split digraph a-e. Your pupils will learn in no time with this easy-to-play game! This is a game for 2 players. The pack included both colour and black and white versions. Laminate the colour version for durability and sen the black and white version home for extra practice. Who can use the a-e phonic Game? Teachers, Parents home-educators Private Tutors Anyone who needs it! Aim of the game: ·To demonstrate how the short vowel sound /a/ changes when ‘e’ is added to make /ae/. ·To give the child plenty of practice recognising the difference between /a/ words and /ae/ words. How to play: Place the picture/word cards in a pile and put the ‘e’ cards neatly on the table. Players take turns to take a spot card from the feely bag. A green spot means that the player should take the topmost picture/word card from the pile and place it in front of him/her. S/he must then decide (by reading the word, sounding out if necessary) whether or not this word requires an ‘e’ or not to change the /a/ to /ae/. If needed the ‘e’ should be added and the card set aside by the player. If not, the word should be placed likewise. Should a red spot be picked, the player must miss a turn. The winner is the player with the most completed cards when al the cards have been used up. Should a player add an ‘e’ when it is not needed, or fail to add one when it is needed should/would/could lose the card, should the teacher deem it helpful to the child. In some cases, the teacher may allow the child help and let the child keep the card once corrected. This is at the teacher's discretion bearing in mind the needs of each child. Teaching tips: This game provides the opportunity for the pupil and teacher to see just where there are problems - listen out for the ‘messages’ in a pupil’s hesitation, his/her misreading of a word so that it does not describe the picture, or thoughtlessness in studying the word and picture carefully to decide about the need, or not, of the ‘e’. These are all indicators of understanding. discipline is required too as the pupil realises that letters in words and spelling are important. For many pupils, this is a new discovery. ‘Look what you have done to ‘hat’! You have changed it into ‘hate’ by putting ‘e’ on the end! This states the problem and for many pupils is the key to sorting out whether an ‘e’ is needed or not. Included: 1 PDF file with 1 game in both colour and black and white.

2 Factor Authentication: Working Memory and Life Skills Activity
Special Resources, Life Studies, Special Education Needs (SEN), Life Skills, Home Economics, Not Grade Specific, Activities
Here’s a real-world way to help your students strengthen their working memory while learning how to use 2 factor authentication: a useful life skill! What’s Included: 6 Page PDF: Ready to print and use! 1-page handout (2 versions: complete or fill-in-the-blank) that clearly explains 2 Factor Authentication: what it is, why it’s important, and how it works. 1-page student handout with instructions on how to complete the memory practice (with a partner or independently) and a printable keyboard to use during the activity. 2 pages of random numbers: 50 of each 4-digit, 5-digit, 6-digit, and 7-digit numbers AND 50 of each 8-digit, 9-digit, and 10-digit numbers How to Use: Give students the handout and teach them about 2 Factor Authentication. Next, explain the activity. Students can practice on their own or with a partner. They can start with 4-digit numbers, or you can assign a higher level based on your students’ abilities. Once they can successfully complete a drill of 10 numbers in a row from one list, they can move up to the next level of difficulty. You can make this a regular routine to help improve your students’ working memory skills! Student Instructions: 1) Either have a friend read you a code or put a ruler underneath the first code in the list you are working on and read it to yourself. 2) Practice memorizing the code. If it’s four digits, you could break it into two two-digit numbers or use another strategy that works for you personally. 3) Repeat the code aloud as you pretend to type it on the keyboard. 4) Practice 10 codes. If you get them all correct (you or your partner check them off as you go), move to a longer code list the next time you practice. Grades to Use With: This activity can be used with students in grades 4 and up as there are seven different levels of difficulty. It could be very useful in high school special education and life skills classes.

Coping Toolbox – SEL Lesson + Activity
Special Resources, Life Skills, Social Emotional Learning (SEL), Special Education Needs (SEN), Preschool, Grade 1, 2, Teacher Tools, Lesson Plans, Activities, Crafts, Worksheets & Printables, Writing Prompts
In this social emotional (SEL) activity and SEL coloring pages, you will get a lesson plan on teaching students how to cope with change, strong feelings, and other challenges that come their way. This is such an important skill for students to learn so they can weather the ups and downs of childhood. They will create a paper toolbox, learn 4 different categories of coping, and write/draw with a prompt on a separate handout. The coping skills they will learn about are; slow breathing, say what you see, hear, and feel, think of something to look forward to, and do what you enjoy. This is most suitable for kindergarten, first, second and third grades. There is some reading required but teachers and parents can help the students understand what each skill is. There are visuals on the coping skill sheets as well. There is a page of directions and a link to a video on belly breathing. If you like this product and would like more social emotional learning resources, please visit my store at https://teachsimple.com/contributor/jennifer-moyer-taylor I am a full-time school counselor and create my own products for my students. I test each product on students when I go into the classes for classroom guidance lessons. If a resource does not resonate with the students, I change it to be more relevant and engaging. These are really kid tested, kid approved products! Teachers and school counselors can benefit from weaving in more social emotional learning lessons in the classroom-if students are not able to cope with a feeling, they have a very difficult time learning and paying attention. It is essential to teach these skills beginning at an early age and continue lessons that are developmentally appropriate as they grow up.
