Product Update :: Winter Social Emotional Activity Pack

Winter Social Emotional Activity PackWell, it’s been just over 2 years since I first posted my Winter Social-Emotional Activity Pack. It’s definitely been one of my most popular products, and the activities have been used in my classroom many times over. So, I figured it was about time to add a few more! So, just in time for some shorter days and cooler temperatures (I know, I know, I’m sorry!), here they are!

First up are my seasonal Whole Body Listening Posters. The set contains 4 different posters (a boy and a girl of 2 different ethnicities) and highlights skills for being a good listener. My students love when my fall poster comes down and my elf poster goes up!

Next, I added a “Guess the Feeling Activity.” Many of you know I’ve been dabbling in creating my own clipart recently and this activity features several of my new Holiday Emotion faces! Students cut out feelings words on one page, and glue them underneath the corresponding face on the other page. It’s great for my K-2 students who struggle with emotional identification.

Last but not least, are some holiday-themed feelings flash cards. Using the same faces as my “Guess the Feeling” activity, you can use these cards for everything from role playing situations, to memory (just cut out 2 sets), or student communication cards.

If you’ve already purchased this pack before, head over to TeachersPayTeachers and redownload it to get the new activities for free! And if you don’t have it yet, now’s your chance!

18 Ways to Scare a Social Worker

18 Ways to Scare a Social Worker

I recently saw a hilarious post on Sublime Speech about the Spookiest Things To Do To an SLP. I figured I’d jump on the fun and make a list for school social workers as well (I did borrow a few of hers!)!

  • Blinking voicemail light to start the day
  • A move-in student with a behavior plan and social work minutes
  • “unfounded”
  • Medicaid
  • Burps, gas, and runny noses
  • “I DIDN’T TAKE MY MEDICINE TODAY!”
  • An invasion of the Unthinkables
    – A required 8-hour workshop that doesn’t offer CEUs
  • “I don’t allow _______ accommodation in my classroom.”
  • 10 calendar days or 10 school days?
  • An IEP invitation for tomorrow morning at 8:00 am
  • “My child has ADHD, and Bipolar Disorder, Intermittent Explosive Disorder, and ODD, Tourette’s, and Anxiety, and Autism. They also have bad handwriting and can’t tie their shoes.”
  • Required professional development about teaching math under Common Core
  • Changing special ed. legislation
  • SQUIRREL!!!
    – Questionable administrator discipline handlings
  • License renewal time!
  • Overdue re-evals

Anything I should add? What else scares you!?
