Hi there!
How are you doing out there? Have you found any fun St. Patrick’s day activities to start doing? I feel like I’m finally ready to start thinking about St. Patrick’s Day. For the last few weeks IEPs have been the only thing on the brain!
This year, St. Patrick’s Day is especially special for me. Last July, my husband and I were blessed to be able to take a trip to Ireland! It was my first time traveling outside the country (I haven’t even been to Canada and I live in Ohio!) so I was pretty excited! If you ever get the chance, I would highly recommend it! The scenery just speaks of God’s amazing beauty and the people there are wonderful!
This year, I thought I would share a few of my pictures with my kiddos and bring some vocabulary to life! Come along for a quick tour tonight!
Our first day there….At beautiful Howth Head.
Jesse and I climbed the Wicklow Mountains. Can you spot him?
2. (From Pinterest). This little guy is just too cute! Work on emotions and feelings with your little leprechauns. Take pictures of students being mad, happy, frustrated, tired, silly, scared and turn them into leprechauns. See if others can guess what they are feeling!
3. (From Pinterest) Work on naming! Make hats for the kiddos to wear and then place a word on them. The person wearing the hat does not know what the word is but other students can see it. Then, students take turn giving clues to help the person wearing the hat guessing what the word is.
4. St. Patrick’s Question Pack -only $3.50
Work on literal, inferential and evaluative questions in this fun game!
4. {Holiday Freebie} You know my way of showing love is by offering a freebie every holiday. Well, here it is! Students compare and contrast Lucky Charms using Semantic Feature Analysis (which is an evidence based intervention!)
Download it HERE.
How is Ireland entering your therapy room? I’d love to know! Happy St. Patrick’s Day!
Come as you are. Leave encouraged.
I'd love for you to join my newsletter family so that I can start sending weekly encouragement as well as access to an entire library of free resources like this Student Self-Progress Report Sheet!
