Christmas Speech Craftivity *Freebie*

December 6, 2012

Deck the halls. My teachers here have been taking this literally and our school looks amazing! I’ve been admiring the adorable craftivities that so many teachers are putting on display outside their rooms and have to say, I’m a little jealous.
I went to my go-to place to shop (also known as TPT) and starting browsing the selection of craftivities but could not find any that quite suited my goals. So…I made my own.

By the way, I was tired of having to change my bulletin board display every holiday so I found this idea at Crazy Speech World and use “Speech Tweets” as a general bulletin board. Then, I switch out the projects that we are working on. It’s a good way for others to keep updated on what we’ve been doing in our speech room 🙂

This week, we’ve been making synonym and opposite Christmas trees and verb presents! The kids had a blast with the trees but we’re still working on completing some of the presents. I wanted to get this out to you though in case you wanted to use it next week.

Here is an opposite tree. I got the idea from Teaching with a Twist. Unfortunately, my students don’t have contraction goals so I adapted it to make synonym and opposite trees!

My other project is verb gifts. Students place verbs in the column of the gift based on present or past tense. I found this one at Second Grade Cup of Tea. She has one for fact and opinion so head on over there if you’re working on those goals!

Merry Christmas!

    Thanks for a great “Present” Tense activity — very clever!! It’s sometimes hard to make verbs fun but I know my students will enjoy this! What a great carryover activity too — thanks again!

First day of year 11 for me!  This is one of my f First day of year 11 for me! 
This is one of my favorite verses and such a timely message for my students AND me! 
This year my husband and I made the decision to homeschool our first grader. I was NOT thinking I would ever be a "homeschool mama" and I'm still not sure how it will all get done with me working part-time but here I am, praying for strength, and patience, and energy, and discipline, and thinking, "perhaps this is the moment for which I have been created?" 🤗

So if this year is full of uncertainty for you as well, know that He’s ☝️got this and I'm praying for the both of us, that we would shine brightly, and make the most of EVERY moment. 💗
P.S. (Because I know I'll get comments, I work at a private christian school, so I'm totally allowed to put verses on my door!) 🙏🏻

FREE CVC word list organized by sound in my Newsle FREE CVC word list organized by sound in my Newsletter library. 

It’s my go-to when starting out articulation therapy. Simple, one syllable words that students are able to sound out provide a framework for phonological awareness skills which studies say also help increase articulation skills. 👏

Lately I've been finding myself singing this verse Lately I've been finding myself singing this verse (thanks Kari Jobe 😀) over the people in my life. Did you know that includes you all? Praying for a successful start to your year, whatever that looks like, and for our students to feel safe, loved, valued, educated, respected, protected, cherished, and appreciated. May the Lord bless you as you do His work. ⁠
