ADHD tips, observation sheet, and reward tickets. If you have an ADHD child in your class this year, I hope this list of tips will be helpful. Use the observation sheet to write down and record problem areas. This will be helpful for parent conferences and for seeing what works and what doesn't. Use the reward tickets as an incentive for your student to stay on task. You can offer your student a choice of different activities to choose from (such as 10 minutes of computer time) if they complete a task you give them. This worked very well for my autistic students as well. I have included tickets for a boy or girl to give them if they cannot do the activity right away.

At the beginning of the year, it is important to set up a substitute information folder or binder in case you wake up with the flu and can't be there. When you go back to school, fill out these forms so your substitute will know what to do if you have to be out. You can print these out and put in a binder or a folder so you can leave it in plain sight on your desk for an emergency. Has informational pages, and dividers for class lists, rules, maps, etc. Enjoy! - HappyEdugator ©2016 HappyEdugator.
