Sasha from TheAutismHelper.com shows a printable scrapbook activity for elementary through high school students. Monthly pages from September to June include cutting guides and prompts for birthdays, field trips, and sports. Teachers can use it once a month to build vocabulary, practice social skills, and support IEP goals.
¡Hola! This is Sasha from TheAutismHelper.com, and this is a product preview of my scrapbook visual craftivity. Excuse me. This is one of my favorite activities to do each year, is to make a scrapbook with my kids. This is age-appropriate for all age levels. Adults love to scrapbook, so it's even great for high schoolers and junior high students. And my kids just love this. They carry around their scrapbooks from past years in their backpacks, some of them. So it's really fun. You can do this at the end of the year, but I really like to do it throughout the year so it's not such a big project, and then it kind of builds itself throughout the year, which is pretty fun. So in October we make September's page, in November we make October's page, and so on. So I developed some pictures, and then this resource will give you all of the visuals to go along with it. So there are some directions included in here and some kind of little samples of how it could look like on bigger pieces of paper or small pieces of paper. Each month there's visual rules that you'll cut off, but then you can use these as the prompts. And then each page has the visual for cutting and the little dotted lines to aid students in cutting the pieces out very neatly. And there's different visuals for each month. So here's September's, October, November. Some of them have spaces where you can write things in, or your students that can't write, you could write it in. December, January, February, March, April, May, and June. And then the last page has some special event pictures such as birthday party, class party, field trips, sports, things like that. So this project is all ready to go. You just need to print and cut out the different pieces each month. This is nice to fit into your teacher time or Direct Instruction Center once a month, or have an aide work on it with the kids. It's really fun, and like I said, my kids just really, really look forward to this, and it's a great way to increase vocabulary and social skills to talk about the events that happened the month before. So it's a great way to work on your IEP goals as well. Again, this was a product preview of Scrapbook Visual Craftivity by TheAutismHelper.com.
