Tool # 7

Objective:  The 5th grade AIM students will be able to collaborate with middle school AIM students to develop social stories to create awareness of the middle school environment and facilitate the transition between the Elementary AIM and Middle School AIM programs.
Implementation:  I will begin to implement this plan when we return from Winter break in January.
Tools:  I will use Skype for communication between the 2 classes.  We will share videos of social stories and what to expect in middle school via Youtube.com.
Description:  In January we will begin talking via Skype with the Middle School AIM classroom in our district.  The students will get to know peers in the grade level above them through communication via Skype.  The Middle School students will share their experiences with the transition to Middle School.  They will talk to the 5th graders about what to expect when they transition.  The Middle school students will make video social stories about some of their experiences in Middle School and the videos will be shared through Youtube.com. My 5th grade students will also make videos about themselves to share with the Middle School students and teachers.
