Saltillo Science Calendar

Saltillo created a calendar with resources on how to teach science and support AAC users. Each month, the calendar suggests language you can use on an AAC device or low tech flip book, a story you can read, and an experiment you can do with your students. There is a video below which goes through the calendar and a read aloud story that is recommended in the calendar. To access the calendar and its accompanying scientist lab book, please click the blue buttons.
