October - Occupations

This month we have been talking about occupations. Look at the pictures above and tell what job each person has. Practice using pronouns like He is a ____ and She is a ____.

How many of the jobs have the -er ending?

Can you think of a few tools each person needs for their job?

Don't forget to use your good speech sounds.

Places

In April we are talking about places. We used the Kidspiration software to brainstorm and generate these webs.

Which are common nouns (house, store) and which are proper nouns (Red Robbin, Fry's)? These are just a few places, can you think of more?

What places have your speech sound in them? Remember that words like station are spelled 'tion' but have the "sh" sound in them.

Nature Walks

The primary speech classes took nature walks this week. We collected and discussed nature we found on the playground like flowers, sticks, pinecones, sand and rocks. We took pictures of nature that we were not able to collect like trees and bees.

Here is a list of some of the nature words we discussed:

rock

sand

flower

grass

tree

bee

pinecone

leaf

stick

What words have your sound in them? Can you add more words to this list?

February - Around the Home

This month we are talking about things we have around our home. Below are pictures from a game we play at school. Look at the pictures. Can you name what the items are and tell what we do with them? Which pictures have your speech sounds in them?

New York or Hawaii?
