Workbasket Wednesday!

I'm linking up with Chris from Autism Classroom News for November's Workbasket Wednesday!


I have a great system for independent work tasks that I've adapted from a bunch of different sources. This year, my students LOVE animals, so I use them as the matching pieces for each task. First, I put 3 pictures of animals, which designate the task the child will complete, on their name tag.

Next, the child brings the picture to our work box station and matches it.

Here are some of our work tasks...

Matching community helper names and pictures.

Working on comprehension, as well as number and color words. You can find this task in my TpT store!

A few of my students have pre-primer sight word goals, and this task helps them generalize the words because they are all in different fonts and colors. I got several of these divided containers from the Dollar Spot at Target - so perfect for sorting tasks! I wrote on the bottom with dry erase marker so words can easily be switched out.

Then, the child finds where they originally got the work task by matching the picture again.

They then take the picture they matched off of the box and put it into the finished container.

I'm excited to see who else links up for Workbasket Wednesday - I'm always looking for new tasks to keep these little hands busy...

  1. Allie, thanks so much for linking up to Workbasket Wednedsay. I am so glad to have discovered your blog and would love to share it on my Facebook page and Pinterest, but the images (other than the button) don't seem to be showing up. I don't know if it's something on my end or yours but I had the same problem on my iPad. I will check back tomorrow and see if they are showing up and then definitely will share! Love your blog title!
