Seriously- we can learn alot from angry birds. I call it “meet the children where they are at”! Those angry birds are cute, daring, imagninative and angry….just like some of our children. My four year old absolutely loves these birds, so I decided to search for inspiration and bring these fluffy balls into my classroom too! As Easter is fast approaching, I am sure to find a way to bring these birds and their eggs into the holiday theme somehow!

I found this link where you can print out faces for each angry bird. It is a balloon template, but I plan on using it to make party favor bags for my sons 4th birthday party. Here’s the link: http://www.thepartyanimal-blog.org/Downloads/Angry_Birds_Balloon_Templates.pdf

Hi Lisa,
I am so happy to have helped you! Do you also have a blog? If not, I would like to encourage you to do so. I would love to read about experiences and lessons with autistic students. -Andrea

You are most welcome, Aytan. What type of math things are you looking for? What skills are you targeting? I actually have not found the need to create Math materials, except for where the curriculum was lacking. My school uses Pearson digital textbooks (Envision Math) and it comes with great work activities and manipulatives. I also use Everyday Math Calendar Materials and really like those. I hope this helps! -Andrea
