It’s almost here. For our special needs children, it seems like the dramatic change in their lives entering summer break was big enough! Now, they have to get ready for a routine that may be familiar to them, or maybe not so much. If you are the parent and your child has the same teacher as last year, which is a common occurrence in Special Education classes, especially self-contained classrooms, it can be a wonderful, somewhat smooth transition. The teacher knows your child, and you sort of know what to expect from the teacher.  Free social narrative included!

Last February 14th, on Valentine’s Day, our small community of Parkland, Florida, was turned upside down by a tragedy so reprehensible, that so needlessly took 17 innocent lives in just minutes. But it is not just the lives lost, it’s also those families who deal with missing their sons, daughters, or fathers every single day. It is watching the children who were injured, but survived, and saw more than anyone should ever see in their lifetime. It is listening to a parent speak about what it is like for their son, who will forever hold physical and emotional scars.

It’s time to go shoe shopping!

No, of course I’m just kidding, but you must admit it’s a great excuse to stock up on shoeboxes. Just when you’re in need of an extra center item or two, using homemade shoebox tasks can do the trick!

I wanted to share some that I have made, and I will be adding additional shoebox learning task templates as they are completed.
