Valentine Gram Student Business Ideas

by

Having a student business has SO MANY benefits.  Depending on what your product is, you have the opportunity to practice independence, money math, cooking, responsibility, and so much more!  For classrooms that do not have to focus on academics as much, this is the perfect place to start!  You can make it something as small as a once-a-year event if your class is unable to take too much time off for the business.  The possibilities are endless, and it really just depends on what resources you have access to, and what your students are interested in doing!

 

Valentine’s Day is a great opportunity to craft and sell something that people can gift to their friends or secret admirers!  Not only that, but this is also a unique opportunity to include the added job skill of delivering orders to the correct person/classroom on a specific date.  Below are DIY Valentine’s Day-themed ideas:

As always, assess the safety risk and appropriateness of a business depending on your environment and students’ levels, and ask your administration for permission before implementing any plans.

Student Business Ideas For Special Education

Product Reviews

from special educators

Theresa S.

This resource has been extremely beneficial. I teach students with moderate to severe disabilities who are on a certificate of completion for high school. This resource was helpful in establishing a routine for my students. Students remained engaged and enjoyed many of the activities. The consistency of the warm-ups allow for me to introduce students to working together appropriately and seeking help and support from peers not just teachers. The differentiated levels help save time and support students varying levels. Students remain engaged and it quickly hits on different life skills reviews.
Life Skills Daily Warm Up Worksheets BUNDLE

I love everything about this resource. There are enough activities to last a year. The lectures and digital activities are my favorite with the real photographs. My students are learning and there seems to be enless materials in this bundle. I also love the creative CBI (community based instruction) ideas that go beyond the typical scavenger hunt.
Vocation Units 1-12 Full Year MEGA Bundle + Supplemental Materials

Kaitlyn Dini (TpT Seller)

Adulting Made Easy makes the absolute perfect resources for my Life Skills students who are about to graduate. Her resources teach practical skills that they will use in their lives and they don't view as being too immature for them (which is common in sped). Thank you so much for creating these resources!

Stacey S.

As a teacher new to the role in vocational education, Adulting Made Easy's vocational products work great! It was an easy way for my students to understand various aspects of job searches and employment.   The vocational units saved me a ton of time by not having to create items on my own.

Erica B.

This was awesome to use with both my at-home learners and my in-person learners. I could use specific ones with our weekly theme during my vocational skills class. It was especially great at keeping my at-home kids engaged when I wasn't there to watch them.
 
Independent Skills - Boom Cards & Interactive PDF BUNDLE

Teaching Tiny Bugs (TpT Seller)

My students love using this resource for their morning work. I have many non writing students, so being able to engage in a lesson with them using drag and drop and visual icons is the reason this have become one of my favorite resources this year.
