November 15 2017 Setting up an Alexa Review

Every so often, Alexa will throw me a curveball and I just can't make a lesson for my students out of Good Morning.  Today was just such a day, she wanted to tell a Thanksgiving Story which was way above the processing power of my students.  This was a good day to set up for a review!

Using the pictures that I have saved from the lessons, I made pairs and wrote information on them. 





Then I gave a word bank of the missing words that would help form complete sentences... and we sat and wrote sentences about the pairs of pictures.


 


After we had the sentences written, we practiced saying the sentences in response to questions.  Then we played a game where we picked two cards that we had used in a sentence and said the sentence that we had written without the paper...  well, with one kiddo, I had the paper put aside and saw him looking at it, and he kinda needed that, so I let him look.  Here is the finished paper of one of my students:

 
I still have the cards and we'll play them again next time I see those students!

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.
