WEEK 3

APRIL 27- MAY 1 

I have been working on something called a Contingency Learning Plan.  This is a document that will be attached to your child's IEP. (Webster only)  It is the district's good faith effort and is a temporary plan to help provide access to services and appropriate materials during the closure of the traditional school.  

Basically, it will allow me to continue using various resources to service your child for speech and language therapy since we cannot meet in person. Currently, I am using a blog for weekly lessons, email, phone calls, and I am available during office hours to supplement direct service for your child's IEP.  Please email me if you have any questions.  Your copy will be mailed to you on Tuesday, April 28th.  



Welcome back to Week 3.  


It's all about the DICE!   You will need 1 die.  

Where do you get this, you ask?



*borrow from another game
*Make your own (in your students' folder was a cut and paste handout
*Download an app on the phone or tablet and get a virtual dice. 
*I have also been known to write numbers on pieces of paper and just pick a number out of a pile!

Instructions:  

1.  You will need a blank Dice Page  Click and print.  

(If you can't print, make one on a blank sheet of paper) 

2.  You will need your speech cards or use your sound hunt words. 

3.  Roll the die, then say your word as many times as the die shows.  For example:  roll a 3, put a mark in the box under the 3, say your word 3 times.   Roll a 1, mark the box, say your word 1 time, etc.   

4.  See if you can fill in 5 spaces in a row or column.  Take a few days to fill the entire sheet.  

5.  Try to rhyme with your speech words.

5.  Try to describe your speech word (big, tall, furry, round, shiny, etc) 

6.  Try to name 3 items in the category. (word is doll; it's a "toy"  some other toys are: blocks, legos, stuffed animals)  

7.  Have fun

WEEK 2

APRIL 20-24

PARENTS:
Welcome to Week 2! I am sure you are working hard at helping your student and learning all about google classroom, meetings, and online school. I continue to work on figuring out how to decrease print/paper activities and just use links directly to the speech therapy activities.

I have added a tab for Internet Tools. This will have various websites for continued speech and language resources and as I find them, I will continuously add to it.

IMPORTANT: If you have not received your student's speech folder please email me at emarlett@eskymos.com. They will need these folders to complete some of the activities.

I have office hours! If you have questions or want your student to say hello, just click the link and I will be there. You can also send me an email and I will respond right away. I look forward to connecting with each of you.

Let's get to work this week!! 😀 Remember to have fun and enjoy working together

Weekly Activity:

Let's go on a SOUND HUNT!

*You will need paper, scissors, pencil, crayon, marker
*Fold and Cut the paper into even pieces
*Look around your house, yard, neighborhood and find items that start with your sound.
*Parents or students write the word they find and students can draw a picture. You just made flashcards!

How to use your Sound Hunt Words for speech and language practice:

Articulation:
- Practice saying the words 3-5 times every day (parents can say the words first and the student repeats.
- Put your words in small sentences "I see a____."
-Play hide and seek - hide the cards and have the child find it and then say the word.

Language:
-Look up the definition for the word (define)
- Tell about your items include color, size, shape, function. (labeling and concepts)
-Tell if something goes with that item (associations)
-Tell about things that might belong in the same group (categories)
-Take 2 of the words and see if they are alike or not. (same/different)
- Find out if there is another word that means the same thing (multiple meanings)

WEEK 1

  APRIL 13-17

Don't forget that Webster packets are available for pick up today, Monday, April 13 from 9am-6pm. We will mail all packets not picked up.  Your student should have their speech folders no later FRIDAY!  If you do not receive the packet, please contact me at emarlett@eskymos.com.   

**Students will be using their folders to play games, practice words, so keep them handy when you work on speech activities.**

Listed below are your assignments for the week.  


PARENTS:  

1.  Explore the blog!  Find your way to the Esky Speech Corner Home Page, and check out "Online Resources" and  "Apps for IPAD.   You will be using Mrs. Marlett's tab on the homepage to access weekly activities.  

2.  Subscribe to my blog.  There is an email subscription on the right-hand side.  Just type your email in there and you will receive an email notification every time I update!   

3.  Post the calendars for the month of April and choose every day or at least 2-3 activities each week to complete.  

4.  For my Webster Little Mo's I have a link on the Distance learning Website to get to my blog.  Please use it.   

3.  Let's talk about supplies!  I know they are limited, so use what you have at home.  It's always a good idea to have dice, whiteboard, dry erase marker, blank paper, glue, scissors, markers/crayons, pencil, and even colored paper.  

STUDENTS:  (please ask parents for help) 

1.  If you are working on a speech sound, please practice each word 3 times, 3-4 times weekly.  Also, use the packet in your speech folder, it has a game board and a dice to help you.  Create your own game and play it. Just make sure you say your word 3 times before you roll!   

2.  If you are working on language (basic concepts, vocabulary there is a scavenger hunt below.  Just print and play.  If you don't have printing access, I am working on digital/interactive links to be posted the next week.  In the meantime use your April Calendar to do something every day!
