Visual recipes are one of my new favorite activities to do with my students. I’ll be honest, when I started teaching, the thought of completing a recipe with my students terrified me. These visual recipes take out all the guess work, and provide all the visuals and supports you need. Not to mention, they’re simple! Now we love doing recipe day in our classroom! Recipe Friday is our favorite!

I love everything about teaching in the fall. Everything is fun and new when we’re back to school, then we have lots of fun with seasons changing and holidays! What is your favorite fall resource? Check out Taylors Halloween Fine Motor and Halloween Sensory Bin Posts!
