November 13 2017 Alexa Good Morning (Thanksgiving Vocab)






 Good morning! Thanksgiving's just around the corner, so how about a joke to get you cooking? Why did the cranberry sauce cross the road? To get to the other sides! If that tickled your wishbone, ask me for a Thanksgiving joke and I'll dish out another!



Thanksgiving Vocab worksheet



   How to teach this lesson, it's a little different:

After listening to Alexa and determining her topic for the day...

look at the definitions and try and find that one word or phrase that goes with the definition.  If this is difficult for your particular student, point out the line that it is in and if they still can't find it, help them go word by word and cross out the words that it isn't (see the paper done below).

 

Then, on the back, write three categories:  main dishes, sides and desserts and fill in several in each category (see example below).  Social Skills extra:  take turns asking if the other person likes each side/dessert and then wait until that person asks the reflexive question.  I put small +'s by the items each of us liked and -'s by the items that one or more of us didn't like.



Here is an old movie I made that has some Thanksgiving vocabulary, mostly for younger kiddos:

 Good morning! Today is International Museum Day. Whether your interests are dinosaurs, technology, or art, there's bound to be a museum that suits your fancy! Just say, "what museums are near me," and I'll help find one for you! It can be really fun to visit a museum.  Most museums have areas or exhibits that are designed to teach the visitor something.  Sometimes you can touch things and sometimes you can't.  What museums have you been to? museum worksheet Here is a "used" worksheet.  Notice that I drew a kitty in the corner as my student with apraxia had difficulties saying Museum and we had to say "Meeeee yoooo seum".  The back of the paper is where I drew a picture and definition of an exhibit.
