High School Back to School Activities

Crossword puzzle using words related to school. Great way to get the kids brains to begin working after the long summer break!

This is a freebie for you!

This game of "Four Corners" is not new or unique; however, this one will work great for your middle schoolers who need to get up and move, and you'll find they are more apt to share without raising their hands or writing it down. This quick and easy, no prep and no printing activity will allow you to truly get to know them on a personal level very quickly.

It's HIGHLY visual so this could even fly in a Core French classroom (Grades 5 - 9); however, I use it in an immersion setting (Grades 5 and 6). It could comfortably be used in any Immersion or French first-language classroom (Grades 3 - 9). As with all of my products, it's not at all babyish and doesn't feature fonts that are frilly or hard-to-read.

For this activity, simply project and GO. I let my students know that they will have to choose their response and move to the corner of the room that suits their answer. You can either click through the slides, have a student touch your SmartBoard to move them along, or you can use a remote clicker or mouse (I do while I'm playing!) to keep the slides rolling.

This Google Slide Deck features :

• 29 pre-created, non-modifiable question slides with 4 options to choose from.
• A template for you to use if you'd like to add in your own questions at the end of the presentation.

Other ways to play:

• I've also allowed students independently to each create a slide and add it into the mix on day 2! Should you choose this option, simply copy the last slide into a Google Slide (11" x 8.5") and share a copy to each student in Google Classroom. Let the magic begin!
• You can choose to extend this activity by having your students huddled in their corners chat about their preferences, or share with the whole group. You can also (I do!!) play WITH them and get to know your students based on these small conversations in the "corners" of your classroom.

I hope you have a G R E A T back-to-school, and hope your kids love you! I sure appreciate all of you!

Don't forget to have fun and be real!

Knowing what signs indicate sensory needs is imperative for adults working with students with autism or sensory processing disorders. This poster gives indicators of ONE type of sensory need 'vestibular'. It also pairs signs that a student may be over or underresponsive to vestibular sensory and activities to help the student self-regulate under either circumstance. Check out my Sensory Room Bundle for a complete sensory room setup including seven more posters like this one, mini-visual schedules for the sensory room, rules for the sensory room visual poster, and science standards that are aligned to sensory activities.

Your students will really enjoy this activity at the beginning of the school year. It is a great way to incorporate both getting-to-know-you activities and focus on the relevance of numbers and math in everyday life! Get to know your students, and your students get to know each other! Here's a quick, easy blank page handout for your students to fill out. Hang them in the classroom or as a bulletin bord idea.

What is cryptogram?

A cryptogram is like a puzzle where letters in a message are replaced with different letters or symbols**.** You can solve it by figuring out which letter stands for which.  It's a fun challenge for learners.

How do these worksheets benefit your learners?

• Learners must analyze the symbols to decode the hidden words. This promotes cognitive development and critical thinking.
• Cryptograms are essentially puzzles that need to be solved. Kids learn to approach problems systematically, breaking down complex codes into manageable parts. This problem-solving skill is transferable to various areas of their academic and personal lives.
• Attention to detail
• Improve working memory
• Enjoyable learning experience
