Children will sort the color labeled lids into the corresponding slot. The lids are all different sizes. This activity addresses cognitive and speech and language skills. The child will have to match the color of the lid to the color of the slot and will have to recognize that each lid is a different size and corresponds with a certain slot. As the child is doing the activity, you can talk with them and encourage them to name colors of the lids to develop language skills

It practices their cognitive and speech and language skills. You can have the children sing the songs with you as a group. This will help the students to learn the different animal sounds and names of animals (cognitive). For speech and language, the repetitive nature of the song will have the students repeating the same words over and over again which will give them the practice that they need to expand their speech and language skills. ]]> 2017-04-06 13:34:13 UTC https://padlet.com/gannoneced101/ybn40uhd547j/wish/165133551 gannoneced101 https://padlet.com/gannoneced101/ybn40uhd547j/wish/165137708 One fish, two fish, red fish, blue fish is a good book for children that are younger. It is very repetitive and has a lot of rhyming. This book helps to develop cognitive skills and language and speech skills as well.

When they are singing the song, they are learning the different parts of the body which develops their cognitive skills. This song is pretty active and has the children up out of their seats and pointing to the different body parts which will develop their gross motor skills. For the speech and language skills, they need to sing along with the teacher. At this age, children should be learning to take turns. If the teacher sings the song first to demonstrate it to them and then tells them that it is their turn to sing it with the movements, this will teach the children that taking turns is accepted and should be done when they are with their friends. ]]> 2017-04-06 14:14:01 UTC https://padlet.com/gannoneced101/ybn40uhd547j/wish/165147713 gannoneced101 https://padlet.com/gannoneced101/ybn40uhd547j/wish/165151340 Chicka chicka boom boom is a good book for 3 year old children to develop their language skills. It can also help their fine motor skills. The book is repetitive and while you are reading, you can encourage the children to follow along and finish the sentences. The children will also begin to remember how the story goes after a couple of times reading it. While you are reading it to the children, you can have one of them turn the pages for you. This simple extra thing will help develop their fine motor skills which fits under the physical category. ]]> 2017-04-06 14:23:28 UTC https://padlet.com/gannoneced101/ybn40uhd547j/wish/165151340
