Peek At My Week 1/11

Hope your first full week after break went swimmingly! We didn’t actually have a full week, due to the weather. Click on pictures to be taken to where the activity is located. Here are my plans for the coming week:

K-2nd: We’re reading The Mitten by Jan Brett. I love that her books lend themselves well to prediction because of how she does illustrations. Plus, it’s just an adorable book. For the kids that I see twice a week, we usually read the book during the first session and do a craft. The next session, we retell the story and do some sort of extension activity. I found an animal adjective worksheet (free) that will work perfectly. Jan Brett’s website has some great printables that go along with her books, so that’s where I got the mitten and animal outlines for this week’s craft.

Autism: We’re still reading The Mitten, but we’re doing an emergent reader version from Rebecca Drake Lehtinen and Whitney Ueltzen  (free) because I find that attention is much better when we can color as we go! Plus, then they have something built in to take home for further practice. We’re also using Hungry, Hungry Penguins from my No-Words books, pronoun and verb popsicle sticks (free), basic concept pictures (free) to focus on hot/cold/hard/soft, and the week’s letter book from Super Power Speech.

 3rd-5th grade: Since next week is Martin Luther King, Jr. Day, we will be doing activities centered around that. We’ll be using our context clues (free) and reading about his life using Nicole Allison’s Nonfiction Text. I’m trying out a couple new things for vocabulary that I will be sharing about later on.

What are your plans for the week?
