Finding time to communicate with families is often one of the hardest jobs for special educators. And often your students have limited communication ability to give their parents information. This set of home notes is designed specifically to be easy and quick for you to send concrete information to families about their child's day at school.
The editable home notes provide objective, concrete information to families while allowing teachers to check off items. And as a bonus there are visuals to help cue the students to communicate about their days. And, they are editable. There is also a note for families to send back to school with information about what they did at home.
*Editable means that you can add text to the boxes with choices. Headings and Pictures are not editable.
These notes are also available for other age groups at Home School Communication
Features
- Both the note to home and the note from home include pictures to assist students in communicating about their day at school and home as well. The pictures correspond to my classroom visual bundles.
- There are several daily form versions for each age level and each version has an editable version. There is also a weekly form that is more general.
- All the forms are also available in PowerPoint to add text boxes for easy editing.
- They are all designed to be check-off sheets with places for additional information so that teachers can check off information like the type of prompting needed, what was addressed, and how the student communicated or behaved during the day.
- The editable versions can be completed with the options and then printed out to be completed by hand, or they can be completed on the computer, saved, and either printed or emailed.
