I hope all your holiday preparations are going smoothly! Personally, I’m still working on a few special purchases and have a long list of Italian cookies, breads and Christmas fudge left to prepare. I’m so glad I have a nice collection of therapy products to pull from during this busy time! I’ve made some wonderful holiday themed purchases from other TpT stores, but today I’d like to highlight a few of my own gems that I know will come in handy during the next few days! I hope you get a chance to take a look at some of the FREEBIES as well as the other holiday materials available in my store. I’ve added links to all these products so you can check them all out! Now, back to finishing my Christmas cards and organizing my ingredients list in preparation for Santa’s arrival! Happy Holidays!
This packet was created with the older student in mind. It includes tasks which require students to apply good executive functioning and organizational strategies to accomplish a variety of tasks they may be faced with during the holiday season. These strategies, however can be implemented when completing any task, at any time of year!
In addition, I have included a FREE activity that you can download when you click on the PREVIEW of my latest product!! This download will give you a sneak peek at what’s available when you purchase the complete product!! It’s my gift to you this holiday season!
