Free Teacher Resources & Support from OT Mom
I offer these free teacher resources out of my admiration and respect for teachers, who carry a huge workload and also have to find ways to help the special needs children and struggling learners in their classes. They are aimed at preschool, kindergarten and early elementary teachers, but homeschool moms may find them helpful too!
These resources arise from requests made and needs identified by teachers who have contacted me. I hope to add more teacher-focused pages to this site as it grows, and I will try and respond to needs identified by the teachers themselves, so please feel free to contact me to add your wish-list or feedback!It is my hope that teachers all over the world will find these pages helpful, which will enable more children to be the best they can be! Handouts For Parents
For parent/teacher meetings, or parent seminars, you may find these printable handouts useful. They contain some basic information helpful to parents, and direct them to specific pages on this website where they can find relevant activities. Gross Motor Exercises for the Classroom
This OT Mom page on Gross Motor Exercises contains links to free printable PDF's to give you quick and easy basic desk exercises and mat exercises to improve kids' school skills. Whether you are a homeschooling mom or a teacher of 35 kids, these exercises will be useful in your classroom.
