Specify Problem
In the Behavior Support Classroom, students have a wide variety of disabilities and abilities. Some of them have little to no home support. Some of them are on the autism spectrum and have a tendency to hoard things that may be distracting them from work or cause them to become aggressive. Having supplies in the classroom keeps the flow of the classroom going; however, the supplies are often run low and are misused or abused. Letting the students develop their own regulations and standards for using the supplies while giving them the responsibility to care for them will help them respect the privilege and use them wisely.
 * **Summary:**


 * Driving Question:**

Each year we begin with a full cabinet of the supplies to have a successful school year and these materials are purchased by donations. For example, we have plenty of pencils, paper, glue, markers, folders, and etc. We have these supplies for everyone in the classroom to use so everyone is prepared and has the supplies they need to be successful throughout the school day, to reduce disagreements since all of the supplies are generally the same and for all to share, and to help everyone to concentrate on work instead of worrying about supplies.

When materials are misused or abused and/or the supplies run low, this causes disruptions, disagreements, and results in students being unprepared for classroom assignments. Create a project that will inform students how to use the classroom supplies wisely and how to access them without disrupting others who are working.

What ways can we use the supplies wisely so the supplies will last, while minimizing disruptions in the classroom? ||

Results Presentation

 * The students will present their projects to the class and display the posters in and around the supply closet. The students will use their presentations as a review when the supply closet seems to get out of hand. ||

Computer Activities
Activities to be completed: -Prior to going to computer
 * ==Activity 1==

The students will brainstorm ideas and ways that they can use the supplies wisely while keeping disruptions to a minimum. || ==Activity 2== Activities to be completed: -Prior to going to computer

The students have completed activity 1 and have reviewed it a peer buddy. The students have received instructions and modeling of the websites they are going to be using for their presentations. || ==Activity 3== Activities to be completed: -Prior to going to computer

The students will have completed all of the activities for the lesson. ||
 * -At the computer

The student will use their ideas to develop norms to help others use the donated supplies wisely. || -At the computer (3-4 days)

The students will create an original story using Kerpoof, a poster using bighugelabs.com or Word, and slide show using PhotoPeach to show others how to use the supplies wisely. || -At the computer

The students will write a brief paragraph over their favorite part of the lesson. ||
 * -After going to the computer

The students will create a draft to map out their ideas for their projects. || -After going to the computer

The students will have a positive and informative group discussion about the presentations. || -After going to the computer

The students will revise and edit their papers with a peer buddy before turning in a final copy. ||

Supporting Activities
Activities to be completed:
 * ==Activity 1==

Go over expectations for behavior and goals for COC Points Sheets

Group discussion on what materials tend to run low or are misused most || ==Activity 2== Activities to be completed:

Students will brainstorm ways/ideas to use supplies wisely. || ==Activity 3== Activities to be completed:

Students will have a group discussion about the importance of the using the supplies wisely and appropriate responses if they see someone not using them appropriately. ||

Rotation Plan
Briefly describe how students will rotate to and from the computer(s) and supporting activities.
 * Student will use their assigned computer as needed. (5 classroom computers) ||
