Conversation Support- Visuals for Staying on Topic!
Earlier this week I posted a {free} visual on my blog for helping students who struggle to stay on topic during conversations. I feel like it was a big hit and I wouldn't want you to miss out!
Staying on topic during conversations can be so hard for our learners with ASD. Especially when you want to talk about something they have no interest in. I am creating a bundle of various topics, and will be offering {free} ones every so often. I would love your feedback on this-- topic suggestions, how you used it, was it successful, what would you tweak, etc.

Fund Your Classroom Projects With a Little Help from Freebielicious
Happy Teacher Appreciation Week to all of our friends in Education! At Freebielicious, we love teachers and appreciate all that you give of yourself inside AND outside of the classroom and we want to help you fund some of your special classroom projects!
Today we come to you with information about potential funding sources to help our all teachers in the US and Canada; no matter if you teach in a public, private, or charter school. All teachers deserve to have their classroom projects funded and we are here to help!
The best-known funding source for teachers to receive private funds is DonorsChoose. If you are not already familiar with DonorsChoose, here's how it works: Public school teachers in the US post classroom project requests on the site and individuals can make tax-deductible contributions to DonorsChoose in support of any listed project. When a project reaches its funding goal, DonorsChoose ships the materials to the school. Donors receive photos of the project in action, a letter from the teacher and information on how the contribution was spent.
Our own Freebie gal, Lori from Teaching with Love and Laughter, has blogged about her success with DonorsChoose. If you are a public school teacher in the US and need money for a classroom project, set up a project on DonorsChoose and tell us about it!
If you teach in a private school or are just looking for alternative funding sources in the US, consider creating a wish list on ClassWish. With a broader base of schools and classrooms to serve; ClassWish is available for all accredited 501(c)(3) or public K-12,private, parochial, magnet, and charter schools in the United States. Teachers, schools and PTOs create online wish lists of materials they desire for school/classroom use. Teachers on the site need to monitor their project contributions and log in to request shipment of funded supplies. Unlike DonorsChoose, ClassWish does not require teachers to explain how they would use requested materials. Teachers simply create an online wish list and promote the list to gain funding.
For our Canadian friends, we are happy to share an onine funding source with all of you! MyClassNeeds is very similar to the popular US sit, DonorsChoose. MyClassNeeds is open to Canadians working in publicly-funded schools. Like DonorsChoose, teachers can submit a funding proposal. The proposal must describe how the classroom project will benefit student’s learning and identify the resources required to achieve the outcome. The types of projects and resources requested can vary in scope and size (it could be science equipment, art supplies, a trip to a science exhibit, or any other resource that enriches the learning of students).
One of our newest Freebie girls, Alessia from Mrs. Albanese's Class successfully funded a guided reading table for her classroom using MyClassNeeds.
We Want to Help YOU Fund Your Project
At Freebielicious, we appreciate all educators and the talents you share with your students day in, and day out. We want to help your reach your goal of a fully-funded classroom project (or wish list). Whether you use DonorsChoose, ClassWish, MyClassNeeds or any other online funding source to raise money for classroom projects, share your story and goals with us. Leave a link to your online wish list or project. Feel free to add an email address or story about why the project is important to you and let us help you spread the word about your project.
