My school has partnered with a program that assists students on the autism spectrum develop work skills. I think the program idea is excellent, but I'm struggling to come up with tasks to fill two hours worth of vocational time once a week. As all librarians know, accurate shelving is not as easy as some kids (and even adults) think. Some of the students are capable and do a great job, but others are not up to the task. And even so, the shelving doesn't take them as long as it takes me to shelf read and make sure books are shelved correctly.

I've tried having students place the clear protectors over new spine labels and barcodes, but that only took them about 10 minutes to complete the cart it took me 3 hours to create for them.

Does anyone have any ideas for some easy vocational activities that would fill two hours that would cater to varying levels of ability and have an easy prep? What are some of your "wish I had time to do" things?
