October's newsletter continues to focus on books that I love to use during this month. I try to recommend at least 5 books for the month. My top 3 choices for October are Apple Trouble by Ragnhild Scamll, The Little Old Lady Who Wasn't Afraid of Anything by Linda D. Williams, and The Chocolate Chip Ghost by Meighan Peifer. I love the book Apple Trouble because the main character is a hedgehog! Who doesn't think hedgehogs are cute? Am I right! I also love this book because my daughter has a stuffed hedgehog that I "borrowed" from her room...shhhh... don't tell her! We used this book in therapy along with pictures of the items that got stuck to hedgehog. I just printed some pictures I found on google and laminated them. Then I used double sided tape so that each item that got stuck to the hedgehog could be placed on my stuffed hedgehog. The kids loved it! Any time you can bring a stuffed animal to class and use it during therapy is a win!
Another great resource that I just found is a website called Tarheel reader. This is an awesome site where you can create your own stories for your students. It's simple and fun - you can create any story you want including social stories, sensory stories, and stories about field trips. The stories can be viewed as a whole class using a smart-board or laptop, or you can print them for smaller group projects. I have already received a positive response from the music teacher!. Yup, that's right...the music teacher loved it!
