Kindness and grace is all that matters. May we all be a vessel to give that to others.❤️

It’s hotter than the devil’s armpit here, and suspect some children - and teachers might pass out.

When stores put their school supplies out it’s just RUDE, right?

Whether you love BTS or dread it, it’s coming..Meh.

I hope you had a fabulous summer break and one thing I KNOW FOR SURE is that your students can’t wait to see you!

You’re their favorite person, and they’ve been waiting all summer for ya!

Make all your kids feel like they’re your favorite. 🤍 It changes EVERYTHING.
🤗☺️

Now please go back to you regularly schedule programming! 🤣

Does anyone know someone who can do trim work around a vent hood? We got a new vent hood, and our trim no longer fits around the vent hood.

I know it’s a small job, but we would be very grateful.

I 🫶 mini erasers, but they’re not just for multi-trial activities!

Here’s how you can use them…

♥️ compare and contrast various erasers

♥️ describe erasers (size, color, quantity, etc.)

♥️ count erasers

♥️ use them with 50 or 100 trial pages

♥️ feed erasers (especially food erasers) to the Critter clinic pets, feed Ned’s head, puppets, etc,

♥️ have your students hide them around your therapy space and have them give you hints to find them - then swap roles!

♥️ use them to work on prepositions! Since Valentine’s Day is coming up, have your students practice telling where the heart ♥️ is (behind, in front, on top, next to, over l, under, on, in, etc. Then, take turns and purposely make mistakes! 🤪

How do YOU USE them? I wanna know!

I LOVE mini erasers, but they’re not just for mu

I LOVE mini erasers, but they’re not just for multi-trial pages.

I ♥️ them for

♥️ comparing and contrasting two different types of erasers
♥️ describing (shape, color, size, quantity, etc)
♥️ having kids hide mini erasers around the room and then giving me hints about where to find them. Then, we switch roles!
♥️ Finally, I really love to hide the food themed erases in the Critter Clinic so that the kids can feed the animals!

Tell me some ways you have used them!
