Visuals to practice independence using a microwave. Just print, laminate and velcro! Great for special education students.

VISUALS TO PRACTICE INDEPENDENCE USING A MICROWAVE

Teachers and Parents!  If you have the luxury of having a microwave in your classroom, this is a great addition to accommodate your students when warming up their lunches or doing a cooking lesson.  This can also be done in the home setting as well!  Depending on the level of your student/child, there are a variety of ways you can go about teaching them how to utilize the visuals to build independence using a microwave.

 

Non-Readers

For students that need more/direct prompting, point to the microwave time on the package and have the student make a match by finding the same time on the velcro strip.  Then, help them put the correct time onto the microwave velcro strip.  From there, they may need more prompting to input each number.  If your student does not know to hit the start button after inputting the numbers, there is a visual for that as well!

 

Readers

Have them match the time on the package to a time on the velcro strip individually.  Then, have them input the correct time and hit start, with minimal prompting!  Eventually, they will not need to use the visuals once they get used to identifying the time on the package and inputting on the microwave.

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!

Stacey S.

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.

Teaching Tiny Bugs (TpT Seller)

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.
