How stamping the date can benefit everyone in a special education classroom.

HOW STAMPING THE DATE CAN BENEFIT EVERYONE IN A SPED CLASSROOM

About half of my class are non-writers, and a handful are tracers (or need to copy).  Writing the date is a common daily task in the classroom and I was finding it time consuming to write the date with highlighter for all of my students that weren’t able to do it on their own.  It was also hard for my students that copy, to look up at the board to find the date any copy it.  So here’s how the date stamp has been a game changer.

 

  • For my “writer” students, I have one volunteer to switch the stamp to the correct date.    
  • Then I can easily go around (or have a helper student go around) and stamp everyone’s pages that need help copying the date.  Now it is directly in front of them and easy to copy.
  • For my non-writers, they can manually stamp it themelves or with hand over hand help.  
  • If you get a bigger sized stamp with light colored ink, this is a perfect alternate for your “tracers”.
  • Did I mention, it’s kinda fun to do even if you can write!

 

So I’ve done some searching around for date stamps and I found this one that is pretty affordable, has a stand (less mess), and the dates go until 2025.   Most stamps that were cheaper only went to 2018. Click on the Amazon affiliate link below to get yours today!

This resource has been extremely beneficial. I teach students with moderate to severe disabilities who are on a certificate of completion for high school. This resource was helpful in establishing a routine for my students. Students remained engaged and enjoyed many of the activities. The consistency of the warm-ups allow for me to introduce students to working together appropriately and seeking help and support from peers not just teachers. The differentiated levels help save time and support students varying levels. Students remain engaged and it quickly hits on different life skills reviews.

I love everything about this resource. There are enough activities to last a year. The lectures and digital activities are my favorite with the real photographs. My students are learning and there seems to be enless materials in this bundle. I also love the creative CBI (community based instruction) ideas that go beyond the typical scavenger hunt.

Adulting Made Easy makes the absolute perfect resources for my Life Skills students who are about to graduate. Her resources teach practical skills that they will use in their lives and they don't view as being too immature for them (which is common in sped). Thank you so much for creating these resources!

As a teacher new to the role in vocational education, Adulting Made Easy's vocational products work great! It was an easy way for my students to understand various aspects of job searches and employment.   The vocational units saved me a ton of time by not having to create items on my own.

This was awesome to use with both my at-home learners and my in-person learners. I could use specific ones with our weekly theme during my vocational skills class. It was especially great at keeping my at-home kids engaged when I wasn't there to watch them.

My students love using this resource for their morning work. I have many non writing students, so being able to engage in a lesson with them using drag and drop and visual icons is the reason this have become one of my favorite resources this year.
