Halloween Antonyms

Today, some of my students used this game to work on learning antonyms pairs.  One little guy requested that I put it on the blog so he could play at home, so here it is! (I also included a print version in case that works better for you).

How I became a Pirate!

This week I am using the book, How I became a Pirate, in some of my language groups.  It's a fun book to read, and the children really enjoyed joining in and pretending to be part of Braid Beard's crew!  Here are some links to activities that go along with the book so you can have a little more fun at home  :-)

Pirate Ships

Today some of my language students made pirate ships.

We practiced following directions while making the ships (for example, "Glue the ship on the paper after you glue the water on.")

Then they had to sequence pictures of the directions that we followed in order to retell the process.

Pirates!

This month our theme is Pirates and Other Characters.  Here are two games to print or play on the computer with our Pirate theme.  Start with a pile of pennies, or other small items (cheerios, fish crackers...) to represent "coins".  As players complete the directions on the cards, they collect coins (in the vocabulary game they get one coin for each direction they follow).  If a player gets a card that says "Boom!", they have to put all of their coins back.

In grades 4-6, our language therapy often revolves around the social studies curriculum. Here are some websites that may be fun for practicing some of the vocabulary and concepts related to social studies:

Utah Education Network (many different activities)
