The 7 Days of Creation Bible Story

(0)
This simplified story is based on the bible story The 7 Days of Creation. It includes 11 pages and the story has been simplified to be more engaging for students and easier for them to understand and follow the story. Each mini-page, is half an actual page size, meaning you cut each page in half. I recommend laminating each page individually and then binding together to make a book - it’ll also make it stronger and longer lasting for you. This is a fun, and simple way to introduce a Bible story into your classroom and Religious Education lessons. You can use this resource as a whole class story which you can read to your students, or print numerous copies and have them readily available for your students to read in your classroom library. Another great way to use this resource is to introduce the book page by page each day/week and put together as a sequencing activity into student’s literacy books so that you can discuss each page more in-depth and have your students work on their sequencing skills. This resource comes in colour/color or black and white option for your preference.

Autism Communication Fan Where Hurts?

Autism Communication Fan Where Hurts?

(0)
This visual communication fan is a great way for your students to communicate with you where they are in pain. Many of our students struggle to explain where they feel pain - or where is hurting. This visual, symbol supported fan is going to help aide with the communication barriers - and get your student the help that they need. There are a range of different body parts included on this fan, and you can put them together with a keyring and keep on you at all times. Visuals are very important to your autism and special education students. By having them portable, and on the go, it means that we can continue our communication outside of the classroom. Body parts included are; arm head (boy) head (girl) ear eye finger foot knee ankle leg lips nose shoulders stomach teeth thumb toe tongue hand wrist I highly recommend cutting out each of the individual fan pieces, laminating them then hole punching the bottom and attaching to a keyring so that they can be used to show students quickly and easily.
