Decorating a Christmas Tree

Last week in speech was all about decorating a Christmas Tree!  We were able to hit so many speech-language concepts.  Here is an over view of what we did:


Books:


We also read a story that I wrote with my own dog!  You can get it here.  This story is a sequencing story of my dog putting up a Christmas tree.  It targets holiday vocabulary words, sequencing, and answering questions.
My coworker and I also pulled out all of our Christmas books and filled up our reading center!

Small World Play:

 Our small world play was a "Christmas Wonderland."  It contained tinsel and all sorts of different "holiday" vocabulary words from stickers, erasers, and other toys.


Sequencing Activity:





For our sequencing activity we decorated a Christmas tree!  I had a visual for all of the students to use.  We worked on a lot of vocabulary words too with the ornaments.  I had ornaments in the shape of reindeer, Santa, balls, bows, lights, and starts.  They were all different colors, so we worked on colors and requesting specific ornaments. It was also easy to  make this into an articulation lesson with all of the /s/ sounds (i.e. star, bows, lights, Santa).


Question of the Day:
Our question of the day was "When you decorate a Christmas tree, do you like to put up ornaments or garland?  The students then put their name under their answer. After, we talked about what everyone has on their tree at home!
