We are in a routine and becoming independent between 4-6 weeks. It all depends on the needs of the students and their independence level when they come to my classroom.
Exciting! You've got this. For songs, I look on UA-cam for engaging content that is age appropriate! I mostly work with kindergarten, so bright, catchy, and animated videos tend to work well. Here's my calendar play list for August: ua-cam.com/play/PLoBs4XHRTAOdPOGaASsIWDg9uADK3lsdn.html&si=YU2bLudBJ6XZlgrc
Could you share some of the morning meeting songs you use and or the powerpoint you use? I am trying to make my morning meeting time more engaging for my students but am struggling to find the right resources. I appreciate any help or advice you can provide!
I have k-2 students and they are all low functioning. I do station teaching but my students who I am not helping at bc I’m working with another start to wonder off to another spot in the class how can I keep them seated until it’s time to switch stations. Each station is only 10 minutes
Hello! My son will be starting school after Christmas break in a k-2 self contained classroom. Do you have children that enroll mid-year? How do they usually adapt?
I absolutely have students who enter throughout the year. Those students do great - they have peers to model expectations and their class is already in a routine so it's easy for them to pick up and learn.
I’m going into my first year teaching in a K-2 self-contained classroom. I’ve been watching your videos and feel you run your room the way I imagine running mine. I’m more interested in your morning meeting? Do you have a link of what your PowerPoint looks like?
I am going back to a self contained classroom after about ten years of doing inclusion. This year, my kids will be eating breakfast at school in the classroom. The students will trickle in at arrival during a 15-20 min period. What are your ideas for occupying the kids who have finished breakfast and those that have just started breakfast? I’m worried that making the few minutes after each student finishes breakfast a free choice time b/c it will make it difficult for some students to clean-up and transition to morning meeting when it is time to do so. Do you have suggestions with what to do as kids stagger in?
I agree - I'd go with a structured activity. Have you tried Leveled Daily Work? It might be a low-prep and easy to implement activity for those students! shop.theautismhelper.com/products/leveled-daily-work-bundle?_pos=28&_sid=bc21fc986&_ss=r There is also a level 0.5, too!
I have looked through your TPT for the morning work you showed, but I'm having trouble locating it! Can you tell me what it's called in your store or give a direct link? TIA!
Good question! In high school I'd start with a higher level of the leveled daily work or even pull some of TAH's functional curricula for morning work. Then, I'd work on functional skills at morning meeting, with age appropriate visuals. Consider an emotional check in, a question of the day, calendar/schedule review (even a math meeting would be great here!), a vocabulary review that goes along with your teaching concepts in your subject areas and even a math problem of the day. I'd also have students sit in desks and face the board, too.

Hello, thank you for this inspiring video, I just started to teach in a completely new autism classroom (not my first experience with autistic kids, but as leading teacher it is). Could you kindly give me some tips, how do you handle morning routine or daily routine with nonverbal kids with moderate to severe autism, please? Do you have an experience, please?
i'm looking to teach in a special elementary school for autism. i'm new to this. what do you teach in the classroom? is it at a lower level than a traditional classroom?
This was good. It would be pretty neat to see your classroom with the Autistic students there.🎈☺️

Thank you so much for your kind words and for watching!
You are a very good teacher. Your heart is truly in teaching. God bless you!
Thank you for your kind words and for watching! ❤️
I would love to see you describe the rest of your school day like you've just shared the morning part.
We'll add that to our list of video ideas! 🙂
Loved listening to how you run your morning routine. How do you get all your children together, how long does it take particular new students.
We are in a routine and becoming independent between 4-6 weeks. It all depends on the needs of the students and their independence level when they come to my classroom.
I love this!
Happy to hear! Thanks for watching!

I love it and your color coding system. May I ask where you got your colored rug?❤
Thanks for watching! Here's the link to the rug: amzn.to/3VNN7ML
Wow! How many assistants you have!! Most teachers have one and sometimes two.
It depends on the year and the needs of my students!
Thank you! First year in self contained! Can you share how you find and create your songs? Thank you!

Great video. Where did you get the colored coordinated bins / notebooks and pencil boxes
Bins came from Really Good Stuff, pencil boxes came from Walmart and the binders came from dollar tree!
How did you get your promethean board to create captions for you in real time?
Hey! Go to settings in Powerpoint & you can turn on captions 🙂. Slide Show-->Subtitle Settings-->Below Slide

I got diagnosed with Autism when I was 16

How is your room so organized?!
Ah! Thanks! It’s a team effort- we really focus on function. We keep items in the place we use them, and that helps us put things away!
