From desk disaster ➡️ calm + focused ✨

Here’s the system we teach:

Step 1: Sort it out
Keep at school ✏️ | Take home 🏠 | Garbage 🗑️

Step 2: Home pouch
Anything going home goes straight into a pouch (and pouch comes right back the next day!)

Step 3: School zone
All school items go into a binder (by subject) or a bin on a nearby shelf

What stays in the desk?
→ 1 folder for loose papers
→ Writing tools

End of day reset (15 mins):
Loose papers get filed into the binder ✔️

Less clutter = less overwhelm = more learning

always helps with those executive functioning tips

POV: the OT is testing the “wiggles help you focus” theory 😄

Movement = regulation.
And when kids can regulate, they can attend, learn, and feel more in control in the classroom.

Flexible seating like this isn’t just fun, it’s functional

When a pencil grasp makes coloring or writing difficult or tiring, small tools like pencil grips can help guide the fingers into a more efficient position.
The best part? This kiddo said coloring felt easier the moment he tried the pencil grip!

Digging for fossils with the National Geographic kit was SO much fun… but let’s just say the floor looked like an archaeological site after 😅

Thankfully the Tineco made cleanup way faster than expected!
What’s your go-to cleanup trick when things get out of hand?

Today we learned about food by making fruit pizza
We cut, spread, touched, smelled, and tasted too! Oh and had lots of fun along the way!
Let’s be honest food is just more fun when it’s star-shaped ✨💫

I decided to incorporate a little AI into my printing session today! This kiddo was excited to use her imagination to come up with creative ideas including a goblin shark, a princess at a hockey mansion, and a teal palace! We turned her ideas into a super silly image with the help of AI, and suddenly she was excited to write all about it! When kids are invested in the idea, printing feels purposeful and motivating. We are not quite done writing about the image yet but we are off to a great start!

I mean who doesn’t love Hippos right?! 😜

This is an example of using emergent literacy in practice!

This junior high student is autistic, and writing anything has felt really hard. Participating in literacy tasks? Even harder.

But when we asked him what he wanted to write about, everything changed. 🙌

With a simple plan and a topic he loved, he followed through with zero protest.

When we tap into what kids care about, we unlock engagement, confidence, and real learning. 💛

Connection first. Interests matter. That’s where the magic happens.

Prepping for tomorrow’s session with a student working on coloring skills! 🖍️

We’re focusing on staying within the lines — even when they’re bold, it can still be tricky! I’m adding some tactile feedback to help define the boundaries and give those hands extra support.

Supporting fine motor growth in creative, hands-on ways makes all the difference 💛

Big learning in Mighty Thinkers yesterday!
We had a serious talk about the size of the problem and how our reactions can match it. Growing minds, growing self-control. So proud of these kids. 💙
