Language Kit Make and Take

Build a firm foundation for effectively using AIMEE Solutions Take and Teach Language Kits in the classroom. We do the preparation, printing and laminating the components of Language Kits of your choosing.  You provide the scissors, glue sticks, and energy for guided assembly of the materials!  Participants will leave the session with a completed Language Kit - including the book, songboard, and several language extension activities – that can be used in the classroom the next day. Learn tips to build lessons around a single unit by using the core materials in a variety of ways. A time for role play is included to give attendees the opportunity to practice adapting lessons for students with different needs.   4 hour Make and Take session

Got a Dollar? Get an Idea!

It is not always necessary (or affordable) to purchase adaptive toys, tools or technology from commercial vendors’ catalogs. Let the Dollar Store QUEEN show you over 100 great money-saving ideas for home and the classroom. We guarantee you will never look at ponytail holders and barrettes the same way again! Be warned: this workshop may cause you to become a Dollar Store junkie or serious collector of odd and ends. 3 hour session

Hands OFF! Let the Student Create

Put an end to beautiful “student” art projects created for them by well-meaning adults. Learn imaginative ways to use everyday household items – such as a dish soap-dispensing sponge – for art projects. Simple adaptations to “standard” art supplies can allow physically impaired students access and independence in creating their own masterpieces. The “Art for All” Take and Teach Language Kit supports classroom instruction in the Fine Arts, develops vocabulary related to art, and teaches pride found through self-expression. Participants in this workshop make an art kit suitable for use with a range of students and assemble the Art for All Language Kit unit.  4 hour Make and Take session

Communicatin’ in the Community
