I’m heading into Life Skills this year and honestly… I need all the help I can get! 😅
SPED & Life Skills teachers—talk to me about task boxes:
🧠 How do you use them?
📦 Bins or pouches?
🛍️ Where do you find the best ones?

Really like this thread - hits on a lot of thoughts that've been brewing in my head the last year:
- optimizing All The Things is impossible (how do you optimize friendship?), everything is a trade-off and it's ok to prioritize diff things in diff seasons
- identity >> habits (implementation details will always change, you can feel good checking off those taskboxes but lose sight of the spirit)
- keep a "win log" at work/life, not just a list of things you did that day (good for self-performance reviews later too!)
- authenticity is an overused word: instead of "be yourself", "CHOOSE yourself" (you already are every day!)

People under-appreciate how attitude affects how you approach yourself, your work, and your life.
Attitude is the basis for the alter ego effect from my book.
An alter ego is about bringing a different attitude to how you do something.
It's just anchored to a concept you love.

3/3 - #TaskBoxes could be done w/ any class/grade. They are totally whatever you make them! My students next year require more support so will mostly start w/ the level 1 bins, but we will add more tasks/levels as we get to know our students.

#TaskBoxes we already have are: silverware rolling, flashlight assembly, a lot fine motor pattern matching/number skills, and not pictured we have mail sorting and sock matching/rolling. So we have *some* but I need more! And better!

Today’s completed #taskboxes - identifying emotions! I’m starting with happy, sad, tired, and angry. These took forever, like multiple days, I’m so glad to have them done!!
Also, it’s 2020 - why don’t we have Velcro that doesn’t make the scissors so sticky??

#taskboxes I worked on today! Color matching fine motor with pipe cleaners & beads, and pattern matching fine motor with my makeshift pegboards 😅 laminated pictures of different patterns will be in the box (once I print them).
