Language Arts

Ask students to hunt for words in their reading and writing that fit the phonic or word study pattern being studied. These words can create a word wall that illustrates examples of the different patterns studied. Students could keep a word study notebook to record the known patterns and their new understanding about words, and can play games and activities that apply their word knowledge.

Math

Word walls in math can provide visual cues and graphic representations of content. Consider using a math word wall that has three parts: key vocabulary, "in your own words" definitions, and a variety of ways to portray a function. For example, multiplication is portrayed by the following symbols: x, *, and ( ).

Number sense, concepts, and operations word wall
The purpose of the mathematics word wall is to identify words and phrases that students need to understand and use so as to make good progress in mathematics. Mathematical language is crucial to children's development of thinking. If students do not have the vocabulary to talk about math concepts and skills, they cannot make progress in understanding these areas of mathematical knowledge. They need to be familiar with mathematical vocabulary and mathematical terms to understand written and spoken instructions. See math word wall resources ›

More ideas for word walls in math
Many teachers are familiar with basic word wall strategies including the use of a flashlight (to put the light on words) and a fly swatter (to highlight words). Teachers are also familiar with tested favorites like bingo; I Have, Who Has; and Mind Reader, but they really wanted other ideas. The purpose of this post by Dr. Deborah Wahlstrom is to identify additional ways to use word walls with mathematics content. More math word wall ideas ›

Science

Using interactive word walls in science
Science is a vocabulary-intense subject that is dependent on students learning new and often times difficult vocabulary to increase comprehension and help them make connections between and among concepts. When science students are given the opportunity to interact with the vocabulary, they are more likely to remember it.

Ideas for using the words on your wall are only limited by your imagination. Some examples include:

Students categorize and sequence from largest to smallest (cell, bacteria, yeast, tissue, ribosome, organ, organism, organ system, protozoa, virus) Variation: Students are given vocabulary words, and their classmates must arrange them in the correct order and justify the placement.

Students remove words from the wall and make connecting statements about the words. The class can then create a summarizing statement, for example: cells make up tissues, and tissues make up organs.

For more ideas like these, read the full post by Toni Enloe.

A word wall is a collection of words that are displayed in large visible letters on a wall, bulletin board, or other display surface in a classroom. The word wall is designed to be an interactive tool for students and contains an array of words that can be used during writing and reading.

WATCH: Parents and children love Reading Eggs

My 5-year-old was struggling with learning to read at school. After a couple of weeks on this programme I can see her progress. With her school readers she was memorising the words, however with Reading Eggs she is actually learning letter/sound combinations and the experience is fun. -Nicole

I've just purchased a 12 month subscription to Reading Eggs for my two children (3 and 7). We've been doing the free trial for a week and I am very impressed with the programme. They both absolutely love it and I am particularly amazed at how much my 3-year-old has learned in a week. I'm a primary school teacher and think the programme is exceptionally well designed. -Sue

I have been using Reading Eggs with my 4-year-old boy for a month now. He loves doing the lessons and his progress is significant [...] after lesson 9 he read his first book and is able to tackle his school books. More importantly, I have complete confidence that this is helping to equip him with the skills so that at school he will feel able to cope despite being one of the youngest. -Joanne

What is articulation (pronunciation and talking)?

Articulation (pronunciation and talking) is the ability to physically move the tongue, lips, teeth and jaw to produce sequences of speech sounds, which make up words and sentences.

Why is articulation (pronunciation and talking) important?

Articulation is important to be able to produce sounds, words and sentences which are clear and can be easily understood and interpreted by others in order to be able to express basic needs and wants, right through to being able to engage in complex conversations.

Depending on the extent of the difficulties, unclear speech can impact significantly on how well a child can interact with adults and their peers and can affect the development of language and social skills. A child who is having difficulties being understood can become frustrated and angry which may lead to behavioural issues. Articulation is also important in literacy skills such as reading and spelling out of words.

What are the building blocks necessary to develop articulation (pronunciation and talking)?

Attention and concentration: Sustained effort, listening and doing activities without distraction and being able to hold that effort long enough to get the task done (e.g. being able to attend to speech and sounds long enough to be able to process the information).

Hearing: For detection of speech sounds.

Good middle ear functioning most of the time (e.g. a child with on-going ear infections, 'glue ear' or colds which block the ears may have fluctuating hearing levels which can affect speech).

Process speech sounds, identify and hear differences between sounds.

Muscle coordination: The ability to move and coordinate the muscles involved in producing sounds (e.g. diaphragm, lips, tongue, vocal cords, jaw and palate).

Understanding that sounds convey meaning.

How can you tell if my child has problem with articulation (pronunciation and talking)?

If a child has difficulties with articulation they might:

Become overly frustrated when communicating with others.

Produce speech that is difficult to understand even for familiar listeners.

Have difficulty linking together more than one or two sounds.

Tend to use only vowel sounds (very open mouthed noises).

Produce speech that is unclear alongside dribbling and messy eating skills.

Produces speech that is less clear than other children of the same age.

Produce an interdental lisp (e.g. tongue protruding between the teeth when saying a /s/ or /z/ sound) if over the ages of 3.5 - 4 years.

Be school aged and still having difficulty saying several sounds.

What other problems can occur when a child has articulation (pronunciation and talking) difficulties?

When a child has articulation difficulties, they might also have difficulties with:

Social skills: Unclear articulation can impact the ability to engage in reciprocal interaction with others (either verbally or non-verbally), to compromise with others, and be able to recognize and follow social norms.

Expressive (using) language: Using language through speech, sign or alternative forms of communication to communicate wants, needs, thoughts and ideas. The child may reduce the length of their sentences or use familiar words to help with being understood.

Self confidence: A child's belief in their ability to perform a task.

Fluency: The smoothness or flow with which sounds, syllables, words and phrases are produced when talking.

Independence: The child may be "clingy" or always want a parent/carer to be around to translate or help with their communication.

Behaviour: A child may become overly frustrated due to not being understood.

Reading and spelling which rely on sounding out the words.

What can be done to improve articulation (pronunciation and talking)?

Play: For the young child, engage in play where you model and use lots of different sounds while playing (e.g. saying "ch ch ch" as the train passes by, "baa" goes the sheep).

Talk to your child often throughout the day to model correct pronunciation of words.

Reduce background noise: Turn off background noise in the home (e.g. television, radio, music) when engaging with your child to minimise distractions.

Look at the child when they are speaking and encourage them to look at you so that they can imitate how to say words or sounds correctly.

Read to the child.

Listen and respond to the child's message (not the exact pronunciation of the words).

Repeat the child's sentences if their speech is not clear (e.g. child: "Dat my deen tar." adult: "Yes, that's your green car."). By repeating what your child has said you are producing a good language model and you are also showing that you have listened to what the child has said.

Show: Ask the child to show you what they are talking about if you don't understand what they have said. Ask for ONE repetition and try to have a guess. Don't be afraid of saying you can't understand what the child has said.

What activities can help improve articulation (pronunciation and talking)?

Naming items together when completing tasks such as looking at a book, in the car, looking outside, while playing and during shopping.

Copying facial expressions in the mirror (e.g. smiling, kissing, licking lips).

Playing something together that the child really enjoys and throughout the game model words with which they are having difficulty.

Modeling and using different sounds during interactions and in play (e.g. "s" is the snake sound, "sh" the baby is sleeping).

Listening to and identifying sounds in words (e.g. "shoe" starts with the "sh" sound).

Correcting: If a child says a word incorrectly, model the correct production back to them but there is no need to make them say it again (e.g. child: "Look at the tat". adult: "Yes, it's a cat" and then continue with the conversation). This helps to provide a subtle, positive correction by modelling the correct response rather than highlighting that the child has said it incorrectly.

Why should I seek therapy if I notice difficulties with articulation (pronunciation and talking)?

Therapeutic intervention to help a child with articulation difficulties is important to:

Improve a child's ability to produce clearer speech.

Improve a child's ability to be understood by others.

Improve a child's ability to engage positively with other children and adults.

Facilitate a child's interactions with familiar (e.g. family members, peers) and unfamiliar individuals.

Reduce frustration in a child who struggles with getting their message across.

Improve spelling and/or writing.

If left treated what can difficulties with articulation (pronunciation and talking) lead to?

When children have difficulties with articulation, they might also have difficulties with:

Forming friendships and engaging in positive social interactions with peers.

Completing higher level education tasks.

Being understood during interactions such as when meeting new people, playing with friends or talking to the teacher.

Developing literacy skills such as reading and writing.

What type of therapy is recommended for articulation (pronunciation and talking) difficulties?

If your child has difficulties with articulation, it is recommended they consult a Speech Therapist.

Here are ideas for improving fine motor skills in Pre-K/ Preschool children. Find additional fine motor activities here.

Find more fine motor ideas on the Fine Motor Skills Resource Page

Fine Motor Skills is one of the main areas I sought to improve in my Pre-K classroom this past year (2008-09). I think fine motor is an area which is often overlooked, yet it is so important. Fine motor skills are the foundation children need before they learn handwriting, in order to have proper pencil grasp and control of a writing instrument.

My goals were to increase the fine motor materials available in our classroom environment, and to plan activities and materials that are interesting and fun so that children would be motivated to use them and would choose them during their free choice time. Most of these activities use "found materials" that can be borrowed, donated, or purchased inexpensively, rather than commercially produced and sold in an educational catalog. Below are several of the fine motor skills activities my class did this year. A few of these ideas were borrowed from Montessori (and I've noted those below).

Water Drops with Suction Cups

The little suction cups on the bottom of these bathtub shapes become mini bowls when turned upside down and used in this activity. (These were purchased at the Dollar Tree.) Children use a finger grasp to squeeze one drop of colored water into each little bowl on the dish. [Idea borrowed from Montessori]

Beads with Suction Cups

These are the same bathtub shapes as in the above activity. Children use their thumb and forefinger to grasp each little bead and place it on a bowl on the shape. The beads are pony beads purchased from a craft store. [Idea borrowed from Montessori]

Clothesline

Children use their fine motor muscles to squeeze the clothespins to clip each piece of clothing to the clothesline. I tied a piece of thick string to the handles of a wooden tray to make the clothesline, and used mini clothespins (although the regular sized clothespins can be used as well). The clothes are Barbie doll clothes purchased at a dollar store. As an alternative, you could cut out shapes of shirts and pants from felt.

Clothespins on a Box

Children squeeze the clothespins and clip them to the sides of the box. To make the activity more interesting, I wrote letters on dot stickers and placed the dot stickers around the sides of the boxes. I wrote letters on the clothespins so the children would match the letters on the clothespins to the letters on the boxes. Other skills could be used, e.g. colors, numbers, beginning sounds. This is similar to activities where children clip clothespins to a paper plate or cardstock circle; however, in my experience, those were flimsy and awkward to use, which is why I like the box better. Any sturdy box could be used (shoe box, postal box). The boxes in this picture were stacking gift boxes that held chocolate covered nuts (a Christmas gift), and they worked out perfectly.

Nuts & Bolts

These larger nuts and bolts can be purchased individually at hardware stores. The cost is usually no more than $0.40 to $0.50 each. Children use their fingers, hands, and wrists, coordinating both hands while grasping and twisting the metal nuts onto the bolts.

Sewing/Lacing Cards

These can be purchased or made with poster board and a hole puncher. Use shoe laces or plastic lacing. Tie one end of the lace to one hole of the card. Children lace the string through each hole. These can be made to match different themes or holidays.

Plate Sewing

Tie lengths of yarn to plastic yarn needles, and knot the end. Children "sew" the yarn on a styrofoam plate by pushing the needle in and out through the plate.

Stringing Cut Straws

Cut plastic drinking straws into small pieces, about 1-inch. (Cutting the straws is another great fine motor activity for kids.) Tie yarn to a plastic needle, or use plastic laces, and knot the end. Children string the straws onto the yarn or lace.

Stringing Beads

Children string pony beads onto pipe cleaners.

Bean Gluing

Children draw a simple picture on a piece of construction paper with a pencil. They trace the pencil lines with glue and glue the beans onto the design. Gripping the beans with their fingers is good fine motor practice.

Seeds and Tweezers

Children pick up different types of seeds with tweezers and sort them by type into the cups.

Unifix Cubes or Interlock Cubes

Children push the cubes with their hands to hook them together. Unifix cubes connect on one end and can make a long "train". Interlock Cubes connect on different sides and can make different things, for example the dogs the children were making in the photo.

Mosaic

In advance, cut construction paper into 1-inch long strips. Children "snip" the strips into smaller pieces and glue them onto their paper to make a mosaic. This activity is great for children who are not yet skilled with scissors, but need cutting practice because they can snip the paper with one cut.

Eyedropper Art

Children use eyedroppers to drop liquid watercolor onto a coffee filter or paper towel. (I use Colorations Liquid Watercolor from Discount School Supply.) If liquid watercolor is not available, you can color water with food color. Also see my blog post for adapting this activity for holidays or themes.

Paper Clips

The children in my class are always wanting to use paper clips because they see me use them, so I set up this activity in the fine motor center. I cut squares of colored construction paper and placed them on the tray along with colored paper clips. Children stack the papers (all of the same color) and clip them with the matching colored paper clip. This was challenging for some children to manipulate the paper clip, but they loved doing it, and it gave them an opportunity to use paper clips with permission.

Dot to Dot

I printed out the Geoboard Dot Paper from the Math Their Way website for this activity (I used the size on the second page). I added Pip Squeak markers, which are great for young children because they are short. Children draw lines with the markers to connect the dots on the paper.

Toothpick Punch

To do this activity, cut squares of construction paper (I cut mine 6×6 inches). Draw a numeral, letter, or simple shape with a Sharpie. I placed a stack of these papers in the fine motor center, along with toothpicks and a carpet square. Children place the paper on the carpet square and use the toothpick to punch holes all along the black lines. When they are done, they can hold their paper up to the light and see the light shining through the holes. Kids enjoy it and it's great fine motor practice!

Pinching Sand

Sand art is a great fine motor activity because children can pinch the sand with their fingers to apply it to their art work. Provide a simple outline (or have the children draw one), a small bowl of white glue, a small bowl of colored sand, and a "glue brush". I buy the cheap paintbrushes with stiff bristles that are sold in a package for $1 at dollar stores. These brushes are not a good enough quality for painting, but they make great glue brushes. Children paint the glue on their paper with the brush, pinch some sand with their fingers, and sprinkle it over the glue. Place a pan, tray, or paper plate on the table for children to shake off the excess sand.

Insect Wrapping

Children wrap the plastic insects with pieces of white yarn ("spider webs"). When they are finished wrapping all of the insects, they unwrap them and place the yarn back in the bowl. We do this activity during a study of bugs and spiders.

Birds Eating Worms

Cut pipe cleaners into smaller pieces and shape them to make several "worms". Place the worms on a brown carpet square (this represents the dirt). Children use a clothespin as a bird beak and catch the worms with their beak. As they catch worms, they place them in a basket until all of the worms have been collected.

Marbles and Melon Scoops

Children scoop the marbles with melon scoops and place them in the ice cube tray. This ice cube tray was found at a kitchen discount store. Also posted at Fine Motor in the Sensory Table. See my blog post for a Halloween adaption to this activity.

Pouring

Children pour something from one bottle to another. I started out having them pour popcorn seeds. They can later try pouring sand, and then water.

Color Mixing

Children mix primary-colored water to make secondary colors. The bucket in the middle is for dumping the water when finished, or to start over. Also posted on the Sensory Table page.

Knobbed Puzzles

Children exercise the fingers used for a pencil grasp when picking up puzzle pieces that have knobs or pegs.

Legos

A bit obvious, but should not be forgotten.

Play Dough

An old stand-by. Also see my webpage for more play dough activities.

Peg Boards

Another old stand-by.

Have you tried making fluffy slime yet? This one is a must try! The texture is so fun to play with. Kids will love stretching and squishing this fluffy slime. And we have to say, we think this is the best fluffy slime recipe you will try.

RELATED: How to Make Slime with Contact Solution

We made this recipe with unicorn colors - pink, teal and purple. We love how colorful and pretty it looks too! And if you want a sparkly unicorn slime be sure to see this unicorn slime recipe.

Fluffy slime is really just regular slime made with shaving cream added. The amount of shaving cream you add will change the texture and consistency of the slime. The more you add, the "fluffier" it will be. If you just want it to be a little fluffy, then this recipe will walk you through how much shaving cream to use. The fun part about making slime is experimenting with different amounts to see how the slime forms.

If you want to make sure your slime turns out - be sure to read the instructions carefully. The type of contact lens solution you need and glue is very important! Substituting these ingredients for other brands may result in your slime not working. We also do not recommend substituting the brands we recommend.

Fluffy Slime Recipe

If you're looking for a general slime recipe, our base slime recipe can be found here: How to Make Slime With Contact Solution. We like to use contact lens solution instead of pure borax in our slime recipes. We recommend you try this basic recipe to start if you haven't made slime before. It is easier to make than fluffy slime and will give you an idea on how much you need to knead and work the slime for it to form.

Fluffy slime is a lot of fun for kids to play with - however we recommend adult supervision and that adults should make the slime. See more safety tips at the bottom of this post before making your slime.

Once you have your fluffy slime made, have fun stretching and squishing it. Fluffy slime will leave indentations when you press on it which regular slime won't do as easily. It's a bit harder to stretch as it gives a fluffy consistency instead.

How Long Does Slime Last?

The fluffiness will only last a day. So if you do plan on storing it for future use, just note that the shaving cream settles and the next day it won't be as fluffy. You can still continue to play with it after the first day but it will turn into a consistency more like regular slime. Store in an air tight container and it should last at least 1 week.

Fluffy Slime Ingredients

If you want a large batch - triple the below recipe. Or make 3 batches with 3 different colors like we did and turn your slime into Unicorn Fluffy Slime!
Per batch:

2/3 cup of Elmer's White Glue - we like to buy this gallon size of white glue as it's a lot cheaper and you can continue to use it to make more batches.

Note: we made this with Elmer's white glue. Do not substitute with other glue as the make-up may not be the same and the recipe may not work

2-3 cups Shaving Cream - note: do not use shave gel.

1.5 Tablespoons Contact Lens Solution - *Important: your brand of contact lens solution must have boric acid and sodium borate in the ingredient list. This is what interacts with the glue to form the slime. We recommend only using Renu fresh or Equate brand. Do not substitute with other brands.

SEE: How to Make Slime With Contact Solution for more tips making slime with contact lens solution.

Liquid Food Coloring - comes with all kinds of vibrant pinks, purples and blues.

Watch the Video Tutorial

How to Make Fluffy Slime
1. Add your white glue to a bowl.

2. Add you water and baking soda and then mix.

3. Add your shaving cream and mix.

4. Add your food coloring until you are satisfied with the color. Mix.

5. Now slowly add in your contact solution.
** Important: your brand of contact lens solution must have boric acid and sodium borate in the ingredient list. This is what interacts with the glue to form the slime. If slime does not form it is typically due to the contact lens solution not having these ingredients. Check your label and see the recommended brands above in our ingredient list.

We like to add in 1 tablespoon, knead for 5 minutes and then add in the 1/2 tablespoon after kneading for some time. The slime will be very sticky when you're kneading - and that's normal!

The first tablespoon you add will let you start to knead it. And the last 1/2 tablespoon will bring the stickiness down and it shouldn't be sticking as much to your hands.

Note- fluffy slime is MESSY when you're making it. It is normal that it will stick to your hands as you're kneading.

If you find it still too sticky - add some baby oil or lotion to your hands. You can also add more contact solution if it's still too sticky, just a little bit at a time. If you add too much contact solution the slime may become too hard and won't be as stretchy to play with.

Now repeat the above recipe for each color you'd like to make. Note: Once you mix the colors together they will eventually mix into one color like play dough does. So you can keep them separately or mix and see what happens! If you make all 3 colors it may turn to gray so if you want to end up with purple just mix the pink and purple together.

Now you're done and you can play with it!

The slime will keep for at least a week in an air tight container. As mentioned above, you'll lose the fluffiness factor after the first day, but it is still fun to play with!

Slime Safety & Precautions

Note: Making slime is a science experiment and safety precautions should still be made when creating slime. By making this slime, you agree to our site terms which you can read here.

Adults should handle any chemicals and products

Adults should make the slime

Always read and follow the labels of products used. If contact lens solution is accidentally ingested, seek medical attention immediately.

This project is not suitable for children under 4.

Slime should not be placed in the mouth. Always wash hands before and after playing with the slime.

If you notice any skin irritation, discontinue use immediately. If you have sensitive skin, wear gloves while making and playing with the slime.

Slime is a science experiment and should be made and played with in moderation. Do not allow children to make their own slime and do not play with slime for an extended period of time.

Because emotional regulation is not part of a standard educational curriculum, it's often up to educators to come up with their own tools for teaching children skills for mindfulness and meditation.

What do these terms mean, and how can adults talk about them at an age-appropriate level? This guide includes resources and activities for teaching children about emotional regulation and meditation.

Teaching Kids About Emotional Regulation

Emotional regulation is a person's ability to monitor and moderate an emotion or set of emotions, according to the American Psychological Association. The APA says two types of regulation are implicit and explicit regulation:
EXPLICIT EMOTIONAL REGULATION
is conscious monitoring of feelings, and includes:
IMPLICIT EMOTIONAL REGULATION
is an unconscious practice that tempers the intensity of or extent to which an emotional response occurs.

Emotional regulation can happen before a feeling occurs, while a feeling is actively developing, or after it has occurred and been processed.

Being able to identify and understand feelings are the first steps to regulating emotions, an ability that children will continue to develop throughout their lives. Emotional regulation helps kids develop independence, self-discipline, interpersonal skills and emotional intelligence.

Emotional regulation also helps children understand the meaning of their relationships with others, build mental resilience and form their identities.

Resources for Teaching Emotional Regulation

Feelings and Emotions, Sesame Street: A YouTube playlist of videos from the television series where characters help each other identify and discuss their emotions. This playlist is also available in Spanish.

Self-Regulation in Young Children, Raising Children Network: A comprehensive framework for identifying and addressing a child's need for emotional regulation skills and behavioral strategies depending on their age.

Emotional regulation often involves pausing for a moment of self-reflection to identify and address one's feelings, evaluate the relevance to the situation at hand, and choose how best to move forward in resolving the emotion. One way to practice self-reflection is through meditation. Meditation helps a person become aware of their emotions and mindful of how to compassionately address their feelings.

Teaching Kids About Mindfulness and Meditation

Meditation is the practice of concentration to improve mental clarity, mindfulness and awareness. A tradition embedded in many spiritual and religious practices, meditation has a long history of individual and community wellness practices.

Meditating is commonly practiced by resting quietly and listening to a guided thought process from another person or an audio recording. Other meditative practices include repetitive breathing techniques, body movement and chanting.

There are many types of meditation to serve a variety of purposes and age groups. According to HealthyChildren.Org, age is also a factor in determining how long people should meditate each day:
PRESCHOOL CHILDREN
A few minutes per day
GRADE SCHOOL CHILDREN
3-10 minutes twice a day
TEENS AND ADULTS
5-45 minutes per day or more

Meditation can bring attention to the qualities associated with mindfulness: attentiveness, calmness and awareness of thoughts, feelings and emotions. Movement-based meditation can be a helpful alternative for children who have learning disabilities or difficulty sitting still.

For children, learning to use meditation can help with emotional regulation and behavioral awareness. Children of any age can learn to meditate individually or in a group.

Resources for Teaching Meditation

Traumatic Experiences, Sesame Street: A playlist of selected videos from the popular television series where characters teach each other meditative skills in a kid-friendly format, including breathing, counting and other exercises for calming emotions. These videos are also available translated into Spanish.
