Musical Instruments

Next week for Large Group we will be doing lots of fun things with our musical instruments.  Here is our learning card:

We will also talk a lot about keeping a steady beat, and even try keeping the beat to a metronome.  In addition, we will focus on the concepts "fast" and "slow!"  Our weekly handout is a nice article that gives some simple tips for reading to your little ones.  

Ocean Animals

One of our little guys LOVES ocean animals, so I decided to have a Large Group focused on this!  Here is our learning card:

We will focus on labeling actions and animals.  In addition, we will be playing a fun, fishing match game with these adorable visuals from Wild About Teaching!  While fishing we will be working on labeling the animals, but we will also be focusing on the concept terms, 'same' and 'different!'  Because of this, our weekly handout is one from Super Duper and focuses on teaching basic concepts.

This month we will be talking about our nose sound, "N."

Use the following ideas/worksheets to target our "n" sound this month:

• in isolation practice in front of the mirror
• CV combinations (no, ne, ni, nu, etc.) while playing with toys or coloring
• this sheets from Mommy Speech Therapy for initial /n/ and final /n/ at the word level
• then use the above sheets along with this sheet for initial /n/ and final /n/ to make sentences

Pete the Cat

This week for Large Group we will be reading "Pete the Cat and His Four Groovy Buttons" by Eric Litwin.  

We will be focusing on counting, as well as some important language concepts.  Here is our learning card:

Our weekly handout is a great article that lists a few activities that you can do with your little ones to work on body parts!  I hope you all had a safe and happy break!
