You have nonverbal students? I have solutions!


Reader, I’m pumped about a bunch of this week’s Black Friday deals & new products…but this one might take the cake.

Or ice cream. I like ice cream better, usually.

🍧 🍦 🍨

Seriously though, we can totally eat some cake (or ice cream) in celebration of you downloading today’s Black Friday deal!!

(Not into Black Friday sales? I totally get it. Click here to opt-out of my sales e-mails this week.)

So many of you have been telling me...

  • I don’t have time to prep materials!
  • My school doesn’t provide math curriculum for my students with moderate to severe special needs!
  • It’s so hard to engage students in activities!

Luckily for you, it’s not time to give up. It’s time to DIVE IN!

Have you heard of Boom Cards? Boom Cards are like interactive slides with buttons, drag and drop or type-in style question & answers. You can get an account FREE and add FREE decks to your library to use with students.* I’ve been using Boom Cards with my students for years. They like them, I like them; it’s a win-win.

And this Autumn & Winter AB Patterns Bundle is the perfect partner to help your students get started. This bundle of 6 decks will help get an activity in front of your students with no prep time!

Autumn & Winter AB Patterns Bundle is usually $4.80, but you can try it this week only for just $2.40! That will definitely leave you with enough money to buy some ice cream!

What’s Included:

  • AB patterns using autumn & winter icons
  • Teaches students to look for pattern unit
  • 6 decks—3 for autumn 🍁 and 3 for winter ⛄
  • 3 levels for each season: errorless, with visual cues, and independent
  • AUDIO instructions on each page! This is key for our non-readers!

This means that for the cost of one ice cream bar, you can put a meaningful math activity in front of your students tomorrow!

Remember, this deal ends November 27th at midnight. This product is normally $4.80, but you can get your students engaged in math THIS WEEK by grabbing the bundle on sale for $2.40!

If you don’t already have a Boom Cards account, click here. (I may earn a referral prize when you use my discount.)

If you don’t want the whole 6-deck bundle, you could try just the ⛄ winter bundle with 3 leveled decks for $1.20!

I’m really curious:

Which are you?

I transform math instruction in self-contained classrooms so that all students can show progress. I believe that even nonverbal children can count and do math! I have been a special educator for 12 years. I have primarily taught elementary students with moderate to severe needs.
