Print and Go Full Year Bundle

About this resource

A full school year of a self-contained classroom, planned, at 67% off buying the nine months one at a time.

You open the packet to today, print what is behind the plan page, and teach it. Every one of the 540 lessons 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, 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 IN THE BUNDLE — 9 PDFs, 1962 pages

Across the nine files: 180 days, 540 lesson plan pages, 1260 student pages, 72 answer key pages, 36 week dividers, and a month-at-a-glance map and a start-up guide in each file.

How The Nine Months Fit

Each month picks up exactly where the one before it stops. The page layout does not change across the year — a student who has learned how September's pages work does not relearn them in any later month — and the skills climb the whole way: counting becomes strategy and story problems becomes comparing and change problems; beginning sounds become digraphs and blends become suffixes become vowel teams and r-controlled vowels become long vowels; daily routines become turn-taking with other children become peer conflict and trying something new. Every month 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 an earlier month can still start on its Day 1.

What Is On Every Plan Page

• The objective, written the way an IEP goal is written.
• SAY THIS — the script. Spoken lines are in quotation marks; the gray 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 — 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. 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.

Math and reading come at three levels every single day, building in difficulty from Level 1 to Level 3; social skills is one page a day. The three pages look the same on the desk — nobody's paper is obviously the easy one.

A Note On The Social Skills Pages

Across all nine months, the cards on the social skills sorting pages are short printed sentences that the teacher reads aloud, not pictures, and every script tells you to read them before anybody picks up scissors. That is on purpose — the lessons are about people, events and decisions, and a decorative icon that does not name the sentence hands a non-reader a shape cue instead of a skill. A few early days within September, October and November carry a picture on every card, when the sentence names a real object; from December through May the cards are text-only throughout. The math and reading student pages are picture-led.

Format

Nine print-and-go PDFs. Scissors and a glue stick is the entire materials list for all nine months. 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.

Not A Calendar

Nothing in here is tied to a date. Day 1 is the first day you teach it. If you start on the 8th, or you skip a Friday, or a month takes you six weeks, it still works.

If You Only Need Part Of The Year

September through February are also sold together as a six-month bundle, and March through May as a three-month bundle, each at its own discount, and every month is sold on its own. This bundle is all nine at 67% off buying them one at a time.
