An extension lesson for PreK-1 Special Education students focusing on identifying, building, and counting the attributes of 2-D triangles using manipulatives.
The final review and assessment for the week, where students demonstrate their mastery of counting, ordering, and comparing numbers 1-10 through a series of 'scout challenges'.
An introduction to comparing quantities up to 10, using groups of berries and bears to learn the language of 'more than', 'less than', and 'the same as'.
Students explore the concept of number order and number lines from 1 to 10, helping lost bears find their way back to camp by filling in missing numbers on a forest path.
A lesson focusing on counting from 6 to 10, introducing ten frames to help students visualize quantities and understand the concept of cardinality in a woodland forest setting.
A speech therapy lesson focused on the life of Rosa Parks, designed for elementary mild-moderate SDC students to improve vocabulary and story comprehension through visual organizers and sentence frames.
This lesson introduces students to the 'CUBES' strategy and operation-specific keywords to turn complex word problems into solvable equations.
A multi-step fine motor activity focused on planning and executing a trip to the park. Students practice folding, writing, and cutting while developing executive functioning skills like sequencing and task persistence.
The introductory lesson of the Bear Brigade Math sequence, focusing on mastering counting and one-to-one correspondence for numbers 1-5 using counting bears and nature-themed visuals.
Focuses on common vowel digraphs (AI, EE, EA, OA) where two vowels work together to make one long vowel sound.
Introduces the silent E pattern (CVCE) and how it "makes the vowel say its name," featuring visual transformations and word-building practice.
Focuses on the identification and differentiation of short vowel sounds (A, E, I, O, U) using visual anchors and word-image associations.
A foundational entry point for students working at a K-1 level. This lesson focuses on teen numbers (11-19) as a 'full container of ten' plus extra units, and reinforces 1-to-1 correspondence and subitizing.
Applying place value knowledge to round 2-digit and 3-digit numbers to the nearest ten and hundred using number lines and visual benchmarks.
Exploring the 10x relationship between ones, tens, and hundreds. Students learn how digits shift and change value as they move across the 3-digit place value chart.
Mastering 3-digit numbers and learning how to compare values using place value logic. Students learn to navigate 'Hundred Heights' using inequality symbols.
Expanding to three-digit numbers, focusing on hundreds and the relationship between standard form, expanded form, and word form. Students 'blue-print' numbers across three places.
An introduction to two-digit numbers using base-ten blocks and the concept of grouping ones into tens. Students learn to build numbers and identify digits in the tens and ones places.
A foundational lesson on place value (tens and ones) using base-ten block visuals and construction-themed hands-on activities.
A lesson empowering students to identify their preferences, communicate their needs, and understand their rights through interactive role-play and decision-making exercises.
A targeted small-group lesson focused on adding and subtracting within 1,000 using base-ten strategies, designed for students with IEPs with a construction theme. Includes step-by-step chunking and Spanish translations for all student materials.
The final session where students organize a mini-tournament, demonstrating both hardware mastery and inclusion skills learned throughout the program.
