November Print and Go Month 3 SPED Lesson Plans Math Reading Social Skills

About this resource

Four weeks of November, 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 3. It picks up exactly where Month 2 stopped, and it also works on its own: week 1 of each

block re-teaches what it needs before it asks for anything new, so a class that never saw September or

October 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, and a start-up guide.

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 italic 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, without fetching

anything.

• 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 at line-up, clean-up or snack

that day, so the skill leaves the paper.

How The Three Levels Work

Level 1: errorless. There are exactly as many pieces on the strip as there are boxes, so there is no wrong

piece to pick up.

Level 2: 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 cue, no fading, no printed model, and the items are chosen to be

confusable rather than convenient.

The level is printed on the child's sheet as a color tone and a row of dots and nothing else. No student

page says "Level 1" in words a child reads, so the three levels look the same on the desk and nobody's

paper is obviously the easy one.

What A Student Page Looks Like

Every reading page is a house: the day's sound, blend or word pattern on the roof, one picture in each

window where a picture applies, and the cut pieces standing in a column beside it at a size a five-year-old

can cut and hold. Every math page is a jar or a number line with the skill on its lid, and the sets,

counters or number-line hops inside it. Social skills pages sort or order short printed sentences into

houses, strips and mats. The frames are the same ones September and October use, so a student who learned

them in an earlier month does not relearn anything.

Pictures come from two Creative-Commons emoji sets (Noto Emoji in full color, Fluent Emoji High Contrast

in black-line for ink-saving) and from art drawn for this store; a page never mixes the two picture styles.

Every page copies cleanly in grayscale, and the print is clear and child-friendly throughout.

The Twenty Days

Math moves past teen numbers into fluency: week 1 is counting on to add (by 1s and 2s, doubles, turn-around

facts), week 2 is counting back to subtract, a hidden part, and the first story problems read aloud by the

adult. Week 3 is measurement and comparison — longer/shorter, taller/shorter, how many cubes long,

heavier/lighter. Week 4 is sorting, counting, reading and making a picture graph, and number words to ten.

Nothing asks about a number past 10.

Reading opens on the two-letter sounds a CVC reader meets next — the digraphs sh, ch and th in week 1, then

beginning blends in week 2. Week 3 lengthens the word: one vs. more than one, two words that make one

compound word, adding -ing to an action word, and five more sight words. Week 4 moves to understanding —

answering a who/what question, choosing the word that fits, and putting a three-sentence story in order.

Social skills moves outward from September's routines and October's materials/safety/conversation work into

helping at home (week 1), being out and about in the community (week 2), keeping a healthy body (week 3),

and family, thanks and a plan that changes (week 4).

Format

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

laminate, no counters, 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

Most of the social skills pages (seventeen of the twenty) are short printed sentences with no picture, and

every script tells you to read them aloud before anybody picks up scissors. That is on purpose: the lessons

are about routines, decisions and steps in order, and a decorative icon that does not honestly name the

step hands a non-reader a shape cue instead of a skill. The other three days (going to the store, going to

the dentist, making a thank-you card) carry a full-color picture on every card, drawn from an openly

licensed emoji set, for the steps that set can name honestly. The sight-word, blend-mix and dictation days

in reading and the number-line and comparison days in math work from print and numerals on purpose; other

reading and math student pages are picture-led where a picture applies.

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 Friday, or the whole thing runs long, it still works.
