Welcome!

Hi Everyone!

I am a special education teacher currently teaching a class for students with Autism.  Pinterest and other blogs have been my greatest resources for setting up and creating activities for my classroom on a limited budget. Some of the activities that are the cheapest to make are the ones that my kiddos enjoy doing the most.  Perusing the many dollar stores in town is one of my favourite pass-times.  Discovering a new dollar store will make my week, discovering that a Dollar Tree is opening up next to my grocery store?  Well that'll last me right up to next September! And then there's the thrift stores, and garage sale season is starting...

I have found so many great ideas online that I have copied/borrowed and adapted, and I hope that my fellow teachers or mothers of little ones will find useful.  I'm always looking for that "I-think-I-can-make-that-myself" moment.  Most of the activities in my classroom have been made by hand, and they're pretty easy to do as long as you've got some time to get crafty.  The two most important items in my classroom-creating toolbelt?  Velcro and laminating sheets (I should by shares in the stuff, I use it so often!)

I hope you find some of what I post useful, and please share with me any ideas that you have - I'm always looking for new ideas!
