My Family
This week in language group, we continued the unit on FAMILY! We reviewed the vocabulary for the week, which included: celebrate, holiday, relatives, thinkful, and together. We reviewed these vocabulary words by saying them, then defining them a a group. I also asked questions to make it meaningful to them (i.e.: Mom is your relative. Am I your relative?).
We then looked at various pictures of celebrations (a wedding, St. Rocco's Feast, Christmas, Hanukkah, Kwanzaa, New Years Eve, and a birthday celebration). We talked about about different things to celebrate and how to have a celebration.
For our activity, I printed out two rooms in a house, a kitchen and a living room. The children made a scene of a celebration with the pictures provided. The first child decided it was a birthday celebration for the sister. Each child after that choose either a family member or a party item to place on the pictures. At the end, all the family members were at the party, which had decorations and a cake.
This activity worked on:
1. vocabulary related to family (mother,, father, grandfather, grandmother, sister, brother, etc)
2. vocabulary related to items used/needed at a party (balloons, cake, candles, drinks, etc)
3. location words (on the table, on the couch, at the stove)
4. attending
5. turn taking
6. labeling
7. answering questions
