Today, it’s back to Christmas. We’ll be making paper plate wreaths today. First, either cut the center out of a paper plate for each child or have your students cut their own paper plate. Next, have them request green and red construction paper and glue verbally or using their Boardmaker symbols, a communication device, or a switch. Depending on their ability and/or their (or your) preference, students can cut or tear their paper into small bits. Have them squeeze glue all over the paper plate and cover it as completely as possible with the red and green paper (I give each student ¼ of a sheet of green construction paper and 1/8 of a sheet of red construction paper).
For fine motor, use your Christmas card lacing cards! For math, leave out a supply of construction paper strips. You can use Christmas colors or just leave out all sorts of colors so that students can choose their own colors. Encourage students to make paper chains while patterning or matching colors. They can use glue (glue sticks work best here) or tape to hold the strips of paper together.
