Susan,
ReplyDeleteI have used social stories in my classroom but usually got them from my behavior specialist and personalized for a particular student. I am so excited that I can now make my own using the names of my other students. What a great resource!
Mary
Susan,
ReplyDeleteYou are the resource queen. I especially love the resources for family. I keep a list but did not think to put it on my blog. Great idea!
Leigh
Hi Susan,
ReplyDeleteWow what great resources you have on your blog this week. I especially will use resources for parents because I always have some of my parents who are not sure what school or just lost about their child next steps after preschool. I love these resources for parents. I will take this back to the classroom and share with my new parents.
Thanks
Vonecia West
