All made memorable through an innovative teaching and learning approach that could help children maintain positive self-esteem for the rest of their lives.
Suitable for all ages but designed for KS2 (ages 7-11).
Contains PowerPoint with two part starter, complete teaching input, BBC video link and plenary plus 2 worksheet based activities.
Lesson length 1 hour.

This unit of work is several weeks for your TA to deliver for a small group of pupils. I have written it for children who need to develop friendships and friendship skills. I hope you find it useful. A TA can pick this up with no explanation or support and should be able to deliver with just an hour or so to familiarise herself, print resources etc. I have also made a game in case your school doesn't have friendship type games. Enjoy your weekend. I hope it saved you some time and energy and that your children learn some friendship and social skills.
Thank you for buying from me. I would appreciate a friendly review as I have kept the cost down, please bear in mind the amount of work when you leave my review.

Coping with COVID and Distance Learning provides instruction in adult living skills and transitional skills for both mild-to-moderately affected special needs students and general education students alike and provides adult living skills for special needs teens to meet federal transition mandates. It is a stand-alone unit providing students with skills to live independently by being able to create a balanced daily schedule in this time of crisis.
With teachers moving to distance teaching and communities on lockdown, Coping with COVID and Distance Learning from Susan Traugh’s Daily Living Skills is the tool you need to help students organize their lives while confined to their homes. This version of the book has clip-art that is a little more literal for students who may need that support.
Like the other books in this series, it contains airy pages and bullet-point information for easy, independent study, yet, these books, nevertheless, respect teens’ maturity and humor while presenting federally mandated Indicator 13 skills and transition skills needed for adult independence. Carefully researched information on the virus and behavior during lockdown are provided in a calm, reassuring manner.
Written on about the 3rd/4th-grade level, workbooks are meant to be self-paced and adaptable with student interests and goals driving most units.
