March Print and Go Month 7 SPED Lesson Plans Math Reading Social Skills

About this resource

Four weeks of March, planned. You do not plan on Sunday. You open it to today, print what is behind

the plan page, and teach it.

This is Month 7. It picks up exactly where Month 6 stopped, and it also works on its own, so a class that never saw September,

October, November, December, January or February can start on Day 1.

Every single lesson has its own printable plan page with a word-for-word script on it. Not a topic, not a

suggestion of what to talk about, but the actual sentences, in quotation marks, that you read out loud. A

substitute or a paraprofessional who has never seen the lesson can pick the page up cold and run it.

WHAT IS INCLUDED: 218 pages

• 60 lesson plan pages. Twenty days, three lessons a day: math, reading, social skills.
• 140 student pages. Math and reading come at three levels every single day. Social skills is one page a day.
• 8 answer key pages covering all twenty days in every block.
• A week divider for each week, a month-at-a-glance map, a start-up guide, and the cover, terms and closing pages.

What Is On A Plan Page

• The objective, written the way an IEP goal is written.
• SAY THIS: the script. Spoken lines are in quotation marks; the lighter handwritten lines are stage directions

telling you what to hold up or do with your hands.

• What each of the three levels actually gives the student, so you can pick without printing all three to

compare.

• IF A STUDENT IS STUCK: three things you can do in the next ten seconds, at the table.
• A data box. Student, correct, out of, date, and how much help: independent, verbal prompt, model, hand

over hand. It is on the plan page rather than a separate data sheet, because a separate data sheet does

not get filled in.

• A notes box at the foot for what you actually saw.
• A TRY IT IN THE ROOM TODAY box on every plan page: one concrete thing to do that day, in the room or at

home, so the skill leaves the paper.

How The Three Levels Work

Level 1: the most support. Three items, and the strip carries two extra pieces that belong to no box, so even

the first page is a real choice of five.

Level 2: four items and one spare piece on the strip that belongs to nothing. The student has to reject something

instead of matching everything.

Level 3: the supports are gone. No fading and no printed model.

The level is marked on the child's sheet by a row of dots, not by a word. No student

page says "Level 1" in words a child reads, so no page announces

itself as the easy one.

What A Student Page Looks Like

Every math page this month is a jar holding short two-step story problems (three, four or six on a page,

depending on the level): a small picture of the noun, the story sentence with its numbers printed right on

the page, and the cut-out number that answers it.

Every reading page is a house or a sentence strip for the day's reading skill, a picture

where a picture honestly applies, and the cut pieces in a touching grid beside or below it (five or six pieces, every one at least 0.9 in a side) at a size a

five-year-old can cut and hold. Social skills pages sort or order short printed sentences into houses, strips and mats,

read aloud together. The frames are the same ones September through February use, so

a student who learned them in an earlier month does not relearn anything.

Pictures come from two open-source emoji sets (Noto Emoji, Apache 2.0, and Fluent Emoji, MIT; both credited on the terms page), and the

math and reading pages copy cleanly in grayscale. The print is large, clear and child-friendly throughout.

The Twenty Days

Math is a TWO-STEP story problem every day for the first time — the amount-added and amount-taken-away

shapes Month 6 taught, now done twice in one story. Week 1 adds an amount,

then a second amount, to reach a teen-number total; week 2 takes an amount away, then a second amount away,

from a teen-number total; week 3 adds an amount and then takes an amount away; week 4 mixes all

three two-step shapes. Every number in every story, at every step,

stays inside 1 to 20. Nothing asks about a number past 20, a clock face or a coin — those stay on their own

shelves (Numbers to 20, Skip Counting, Telling Time, Money, Addition to 20).

Reading opens the long-E vowel teams: EE words (week 1), then EA

words (week 2), then EE, EA and EY together as one sound spelled three ways (week 3), then Fry's sixth ten

sight words (51-60) plus short two-sentence passages read aloud, each with a question (week 4).

Social skills opens the next ring of the school year, staying flexible when a plan changes: handling an

unexpected change to today's plan (week 1), moving from one activity to the next (week 2), going along with

a change someone else makes — a friend's different idea, a change in the weather, a new person joining the

group (week 3), and a mixed review of the whole month (week 4). Every skill is a plain, observable behavior

step — taking a breath, asking what happens next, trying a new way — never a clinical framing.

Format

Print-and-go PDF. Scissors and a glue stick is the entire materials list for the month. Nothing to

laminate and no cards to cut apart in advance: the student does the cutting, and the cutting is

part of the work.

Who This Is For

Self-contained and resource rooms, early intervention, life skills, and any elementary room with a wide

skill range in it. It is also built to be handed to somebody else: a sub, a new para, a student teacher, or

the person covering your room the week you are out.

A Note On The Social Skills Pages

Every social page has five or six cards to cut out, laid edge to edge in a short grid so each cut is one

straight line. Every one of March's twenty social days is a short printed sentence with no picture, and the plan

pages have you read the cards aloud together. Each of these skills is a behavior —

taking a breath, asking what happens next, welcoming a new person in — not a nameable object, and a single

generic icon repeated on every card would not tell one skill's card from another's. Reading is picture-led

wherever a picture honestly applies, and math's illustrative pictures reuse the same counted-set pictures

November, December, January and February already used; nothing here is a new math picture.

Not A Calendar

Nothing in here is tied to a date. Day 1 is the first day you teach it. If you start partway through the

month, or you skip a day, or the whole thing runs long, it still works.
