I am so glad to share this unit with you. I've been using it in my class this week and I have to say that it has been a life saver! As you know I teach children with autism and sometimes their behaviors can be challenging. We were doing great but then we reached a point where the kids were pretty much DONE after recess. You know, like "stick a fork in it, I'm DONE!!!" I couldn't get much at all out of them at all! They barely wanted to sit for a story!
One of the speech therapists came with a cute little shape monster activity. By cute, I mean I liked the words. The graphics were Board Maker (BIG YAWN). So I took the idea and put my own spin on it. I added colorful graphics and the container with a cut out mouth to "feed" shape monster. Not only did the kids enjoy it, but they "ate it up!" It was literally a God send!
I taught them how to do it on the 1st day. Once they were comfortable with the format, they looked forward to doing this every day. It became a very nice "go to" for the month of October.
