Hello Parents, The monthly theme for January is winter weather, winter clothing and grooming! Below is a schedule of weekly themes for speech therapy for the month. Books -January 12: Book- “Just a Snowy Day” by Mercer Mayer Music YouTube: Snowflake (Super Simple Learning) Put Your Shoes On (Super Simple Learning) The Weather Song (Songs for Kids Learning English) -January 19: Book- “Just a Snowy Day” by Mercer Mayer Music I’m a Snowman -January 26: Book- “The Jacket I Wear” By Neitzel Other Educational Videos Winter Preschool Song: Let’s Get Dressed (little story bug) Read Clothing Words (ELF Kids Videos) -January 5: Book- “A Cold and Snowy Day!” Breakstone Book Throughout the month, we will be naming and describing winter clothing (scarf, sweater, boots) and where they go on our body (boots on feet, hat on head). We will be using verbs associated with getting dressed (put on, take off, over, under) and with snow play (throw snowball, shovel snow). Children will be practicing concepts such as hot and cold, as well as other adjectives associated with winter (cloudy, rainy). When at home, practice the vocabulary for the month by describing the clothes we wear in the winter. When getting them dressed, give them choices (hat or boots first) and describing your actions (put jacket on, take boots off).
