Since I have mostly boys on my caseload, we only read "If You Give A Mouse A Cookie." No boys were going to ask for "Clara the Cookie Fairy." (boo, I like that book!)
We started out the week with the book and a drill reinforcement activity. I needed to get the kiddos back in the swing of therapy after the holidays. You can find all of the activities in the blog here. The second articulation activity we completed was a "Roll and Say" sheet. The child rolled the die, found the matching one on the worksheet, and produced the word correctly that number of times. Then the child colored/dot painted a picture in the row. The kids really loved doing that! I think we might be adding this one to our usual routine.
As for language activities, we had a couple of school age coloring sheets. The early childhood kids loved their stuff!! Language for school age kids included working on irregular past tense verbs in sentences and categories. We colored chocolate chips on a cookie as the client made up sentences using the irregular past tense verbs. We also colored cookies when we could name 3-5 items that belonged in a given category.
The little guys had a field day with our activities. Since some of my clients cannot follow the book of the week, I made a book that could go along with that is more simple (but could be used with it.) You can find "Cookie, Cookie What Do You See?" on my TpT store as well as the "Mouse has..." board. We practiced different language concepts using the Melissa and Doug Christmas cookie set and the Counting Cookie Jar. The last activity we had was a simple category sort using food, animals and clothing.
Well, I started this post on Thursday. It is now Friday at lunch time. The blog struggle was real this week!! Here's to a more organized and productive week next week!!
