Door Knob

One of our students is very interested in how things work. He is especially interested in the class door latch mechanism. In order to stop him from investigating its mechanics and opening the door throughout the day, which is a safety risk with other friends, I built him his own knob. Our classroom has an accessible handle rather than a turn-knob, but I am hoping he will be just as interested in this one as the real one.

Environmental Signs

In the past my students have worked on learning to identify common environmental signs, such as Stop signs, Walk signs, Danger Signs. I created this activity after we took a community walk to take pictures of the signs in our community. Each page contains two pictures. When the correct picture is selected the students are reinforced with an audio clip that says  "Good Job", when they select the wrong picture they hear "No, try again".
