It is time to change the bulletin board again. The students really seem to enjoy these projects and ask each month what we are going to do next. I like them because they can encompass so many objectives from speaking clearly with detail to following directions. I think they like using the art supplies since there is not as much time to do art in the classrooms. These same students often have difficulty following directions and get lost in a large group. In a small group they can all be successful.
I obtained my materials from a lot of different sources. I found a hat on this web site and shrunk it down to a usable size. Leprechaun_Hat. This site taught how to draw facial expressions.
I used Story Kit to record the directions. This app is no longer available as of 2022. However the directions still work. You may be able to use another program such as Power Point to accomplish the same thing. Students took pictures of the project and made the story sequence themselves. It taught them about sequencing and providing important detail. You can access their directions here. Leprechaun Directions.
It took two sessions to accomplish everything. Not only did it make interesting therapy sessions, I have a new bulletin board for March. Here is a picture of the bulletin board.
