❤️ collobrating with @ATSAshleyK!! Look at our friend go! Paired real life pictures with the object. This student not only sat, he was engaged, pointed and pulled off the picture of the item he wanted, and I modeled core words ‘want’ and ‘eat’ on a TT8!

Love it when my s’s independently use a new AAC device to make a request (drink) and seeing how happy they are when their voice is heard! ❤️ @ATSAshleyK

While working on cutting skills with a student I was told ‘I want…’ and instead of responding right away to them, I waited to see what this student would say next…they followed it up with ‘stop, go go’! This is why wait time is essential! @ATS_FCPS @ATSAshleyK

A student in my class spontaneously told me this today on their eye gaze—I replied ‘you want to eat me?!’ The student replied with lots of smiles and giggles—never a dull moment in my classroom @PoplarTreeES @ATS_FCPS 😂

Used @lessonpix to make a First/Then board for the kiddos in @MrsBowenPTES class because they like taking toys from my classroom—happy to share, but first they have to work! 😂@ATS_FCPS @AllMeansAllPTES @PoplarTreeES

While playing with @Lego Duplos, I modeled colors for a student on their device.I also paired this activtiy with a low tech TD Snap visual so we could.add more words like you, I, want, you go etc. This activtiy was so much fun and my student ❤️ it! @ATS_FCPS @PoplarTreeES

Made a tent for my classroom.by putting a dark blanket over a table and adding twinkle lights (and of course I had to add a switch to make it interactive for my S’s to turn the light on and off) @PoplarTreeES @ATS_FCPS The tent has been a HUGE hit!
