Estimated Time: 30-40 minutes
Description: Our class is using Post-it® Notes to "spread the love" at our school for Valentine's day. We are inviting other classes to write nice notes to friends or teachers on colored Post-it Notes that we can display in the shape of a heart on our HUGE classroom windows that face the entire campus' main walkway. We are a self-contained special education class for 4th & 5th grade students with autism and this is our way to give back to our school. We will start by "using our words" to write how we feel about our friends and teachers on Post-it Notes to start the project. From there, we will use our social skills to ask other classes to help us with our project. Before we put each note up, we will read it to make sure that it is nice AND write a thank you note to thank them for participating. At the end, we will count to see how many nice notes we collected!

Estimated Time: 10-20 minutes
Description: I let the kids draw two people doing something on an 8X10 paper. I give them 2 speech bubble Post-it® Notes to place by each figure's head. I ask them to write something in each bubble so I can see what the two people are saying in their picture. It encourages conversation in their writing. This can be done in any subject and at any grade level. The speech bubbles will let you know if they understand the assignment given.
