For this one, I want the students to write the number on the card after placing the animals on the dots.
The kids love opening and closing things...even in preschool. I'm going to put in things whose names have their target speech sounds.

More Task Box Ideas...
From TEACCH:
I hate the box, but love, love, love the idea.
From Autism Teaching Tools:
I want to use faces that are depicting different feelings so that I can ask the student how the person is feeling.

Straws
First, students will cut the straws into small pieces, at least an inch in length.
Then they can lace them with string or pipe cleaners or stick them into play dough to make pictures or write words.

Button Ideas
From Child Care Land:
Popcorn and Buttons:
Fill a tub with popcorn seeds and add buttons. Using fingers or tweezers, students pick the buttons
out and sort them into cups.
Button Counting:
Using a picture of a snowman found here, students count out the appropriate number of buttons.
Buttoning Practice:
Make these cute little squares with a button sewn in the middle. Student buttons on or unbuttons
off the circle.
Button Play Dough:
Make play dough. Fold buttons in. Students take out as many as they can.

Chicka Chicka magnet letters
From Child Care Land:
For this activity, you need the monkey found here, a paint stick, a large paper clip, letters with magnets on the back or magnetic letters.
Glue the monkey to the stick. Be sure to put the large paper clip behind the white square.
Lay out the letters, face down, on the table. You could also hold them with you.
In turn, say something like, "Chicka Chicka Boom Boom, what letter do you see?" while picking up a letter.
Show the students the letter, allow them time to name the letter before going on to the next one.
This would be a fun way of assessing letter knowledge and sound associations.

Learning Links
From Child Care Land:
I found some of these in my classroom the other day and almost threw them away. When played with independently, my students make chains and then swing them around like lassos. However, I'm now glad I didn't. I'm going to use them to make these:
Learning Links number matching: Cards with numbers on them (can make them themed) or number
words or dots etc. Punch a small hole near the bottom middle of the card. Students place the
appropriate amount of links to the card.
Learning Links patterning: Take pictures of pre-chained pattern links. Ask students to recreate.
Learning Links color sorting: Create link chains of each color.
Matching upper- and lowercase letters.
Alphabet and Number order: Alphabet or number cards with holes on each side. Students link them
together using the links.

Circle Time
I want to add some skills to my circle time:
Mystery bucket - add themed items to a container that kids cannot see through, give them clues to
guess what is inside
Letter of the Week - display two pictures, one that starts with the target letter and one that does not,
allow students to choose which picture is correct and add it to chart

All About Me booklet
This would be great to use at the very beginning of the school year. I want to add shapes and make it a little prettier. I also might add some more skills from the progress report skills worksheet. It will make an excellent assessment.

Potato Head Play Dough
My students love the fun Potato Head pieces they make these days. They play with them nearly everyday. I can't wait to do this.
I found this pictures on Pinterest, but the site was no longer working.
