Yes! Having the daily check in has been very useful. I got the dice from Target Dollar Spot or the Bulls Eye Playground. This was a year ago though. They usually come out with items like that during the summer.
Yay! Congrats! You are going to have so much fun student teaching. My school primary does mainstream but will focus on students individual IEPs to ensure they are getting the skills they need to be successful in school. Wishing you the best this fall! You are going to do great!
