πΏ Exploring, Talking, and Learning! π
Our speech session last week was all about BUGS! ππ¦π
We read Jacobβs Bug Collection and went on our own little βbug hunt.β Using our magnifying jars, we explored pretend insects while working on:
πΉ Descriptive language (big/small, colors, wings, legs)
πΉ Action words (crawl, fly, jump, buzz)
πΉ Sentence building (βI found a bee!β βI found a ladybug!β)
πΉ Turn taking and curiosity through play and discovery
We also incorporated AAC visual sentence strips to support expressive language and sentence formation. Learners practiced combining core words and fringe vocabulary to create phrases like βI see a spider,β and βI found a butterfly!β π£οΈπ¬
Hands on, themed activities like this help kids connect new words to real experiences, making learning fun, meaningful, and JOYFUL! π
