VIRTUAL FIELD TRIP Linked below is a website featuring a bunch of locations your student can attend as a virtual "field trip!" Have your student choose a video that they are interested in and, when their "trip" is over, they can retell what happened back to you. Retelling what they learned or having a conversation about fun facts is great for language growth, as well as practicing their speech sounds! The attached site is advertised as "Pre-K" and "Kindergarten," but is appropriate for all elementary students! Send a picture or video of your student telling about their "field trip" to win prizes! Please send pictures or videos to [email protected] https://www.simplykinder.com/virtual-field-trips-for-kindergarteners/?fbclid=IwAR0kaE8axormiTpDJUcEmOfUH5Y3WKQneSiknseFINCRkpVDyqF6opXeIfI

Happy Monday, Prairie View families! This week is starting off a little wet and gloomy, so here is a fun indoor activity to keep your students' minds and bodies active! STRIKE A POSE - YOGA STYLE Look at pictures of yoga poses for kids online (such as this). Have your student choose one and hold it while they practice their speech/language skill. See how many repetitions they can complete before they lose the pose! You can also be creative and have your student can make up their own poses! Send a picture of your student working on their speech/language in their yoga pose win prizes! Please send pictures to [email protected] DRAW WITH CHALK Now that the spring weather is finally making an appearance (yay for a high of 70 today!), get outside and draw with chalk on your sidewalk or driveway. Draw pictures that include your student's speech sound, talk about what you're drawing to target your student's language goals, or practice your targets before taking a turn on the obstacle course, hopscotch, or life size board game you drew! It's the perfect mix of fresh air, creativity, and exercise! Just a reminder if you haven't joined our facebook group, please click here:
https://www.facebook.com/groups/2835542659865241 Fun things will be posted each week and I would love to see how everyone is doing! If you 'catch' your student practicing their speech work and post it on the group or email me, they could win a prize! GO FOR A WALK!
Take a walk outside and look for items to talk about! You could keep a lookout for items that include your speech sound, make up silly stories about objects you find using your speech and/or language targets, or take 5 steps for every repetition. Be creative and make it fun! Send a picture of your child working on their speech/language on your walk to win prizes! Please send pictures to [email protected] LET'S PLAY CARDS! Give your child a playing card for every repetition (of their speech sound or language target). When your child has all of the cards, play a game together! Click HERE for some ideas for kid friendly games. Remember, you can send a picture of your child working on their speech/language or doing a learning activity to win prizes! Please send pictures to [email protected] PAPER BALL BASKETBALL!
Write your child's speech sounds or target words on pieces of paper and crumple them up into a ball. Have your child choose a ball, open it up, say the word/produce a sentence, and then crumple it back up and toss the paper ball into a basket/trash can. For competitive kiddos, you can keep score of how many they produce correctly and make into the basket! You can send a picture of your child working on their speech/language or doing a learning activity to win prizes! Please send pictures to [email protected] FLASHLIGHT HIDE AND SEEK!
Put pieces of paper with words including your child's speech sounds or target language areas around the room and turn off the lights. Hand your child a flashlight and let them discover the words. Have them practice each target as they find them! You can send a picture of your child working on their speech/language or doing a learning activity to win prizes!

Speech sound targets: Find words or pictures together that include your child’s speech sound within the book. Have them practice their sounds in the words they find! Language/grammar targets: Talk about what is happening in the book while reading and/or looking at pictures. Incorporate their targets into the conversation (ex. working on irregular past tense: The boy and girl RAN to the park!). You can send a picture of your child working on their speech/language or doing a learning activity to win prizes! Please send pictures to [email protected] |
