--- title: Embrace® Blog | Lynn Wilke description: Hello! My name is Lynn Wilke. I live in Aviston, IL with my husband, Adam, and daughter, Aris. I am a self contained early childhood teacher at Highland Primary School. I have worked in a blended preschool setting previously but love the small group instruction that my self contained class offers. My kiddos are each unique in their own way and receive individualized attention daily. We use ABA to work through academic readiness, language building, fine motor, and many other skills throughout the day. I can't wait to share some of my classroom with you through this blog! --- [![Embrace Logo Trademark-3](https://embraceblog.embraceeducation.com/hubfs/Embrace%20Logo%20Trademark-3.svg)](https://www.embraceeducation.com/) [Log In](https://www.outreachtime.com/login/) - [Home](https://www.embraceeducation.com/) - [About](https://www.embraceeducation.com/our-story/#our-story-link) - [Our Story](https://www.embraceeducation.com/our-story/) - [Our Process](https://www.embraceeducation.com/our-process/) - [Frequently Asked Questions](https://www.embraceeducation.com/about/frequently-asked-questions/) - [Testimonials](https://www.embraceeducation.com/testimonials/) - [Case Studies](https://www.embraceeducation.com/about/embrace-case-studies/) - [Career Opportunities](https://www.embraceeducation.com/careers-page/) - [Software](https://www.embraceeducation.com/software/) - [embraceIEP](https://www.embraceeducation.com/iep-software/) - [embraceDS (Medicaid Billing)](https://www.embraceeducation.com/medicaid-reimbursement-software/) - [embraceEVAL](https://www.embraceeducation.com/teacher-evaluation-software/) - [embrace504](https://www.embraceeducation.com/504-software/) - [embraceMTSS](https://www.embraceeducation.com/mtss-software/) - [embraceSE (Texas)](https://www.embraceeducation.com/special-education-management-software-texas/) - [Blog](https://embraceblog.embraceeducation.com/blog/) - [Contact](https://www.embraceeducation.com/contact/) - [Resources](https://www.embraceeducation.com/resources/) - [Resource Center](https://www.embraceeducation.com/resource-center/) - [504 Resources](https://www.embraceeducation.com/504-resources/) - [MTSS Resources](https://www.embraceeducation.com/mtss-resources/) - [DS/Medicaid Billing Resources](https://www.embraceeducation.com/ds-medicaid-billing-resources/) ![Blog Banner Area](https://embraceblog.embraceeducation.com/hubfs/Embrace_January2019%20Theme/Images/topimage-embrace.jpg) - [Home »](https://www.embraceeducation.com/) - Author's archive: Lynn Wilke ### All posts by Lynn Wilke [![](https://embraceblog.embraceeducation.com/hs-fs/hubfs/catch%20all%20tub.jpeg?width=785&name=catch%20all%20tub.jpeg)](https://embraceblog.embraceeducation.com/blog/tubs-tubs-and-more-tubs) ## [Tubs, Tubs, and MORE Tubs!](https://embraceblog.embraceeducation.com/blog/tubs-tubs-and-more-tubs) If you teach Early Childhood, you know that a pre-made curriculum is nonexistent for us.
