Preschoolers- What to Use?

 

 

 

 

Need something for Preschool? Here is a fun center that you can work on with all preschoolers!

 

Vocabulary- Categorizing and Labeling

Print off all of the pictures in colour and laminate for durability. For an activity center, have the children place the items from each group on the corresponding mat.
This will help to teach labelling category names and how to categorize items into their different groups.
After the students can put the items from each group on the correct mat, you can have them play a memory game. Place even numbers of cards from each
group (food, clothing, transportation, etc.) and lay them face down on a table. When the student chooses 2 cards that are related, they have to name the group or tell that
the items belong to or explain why the items are related.
For example, a shirt and shoes are both clothing, a car and a motorbike both have wheels. For the last page, you can place 3 items from a group and have the student name the category.
Enjoy!

Observing, describing and inferring are all critical goals for our older caseload. 

This Observing & Describing product is an excellent way for students grade 4 and up to practice essential skills in reading, observing, comprehending and making inferences. Observing, describing and making inferences are vital skills for all readers. This product teaches this skill in 5 steps: choose words that describe the picture, generate your own describing words, creating descriptive words that are relevant to the picture to make the sentence more descriptive, then describe who, what, where, when and eventually why based on pictures, and then making inferences about pictures.
Step 1- choose from a series of words to best describe the picture.
Step 2- generate their own describing words based on the picture.
Step 3- add adjectives and other describing words to make the sentence (already provided) more interesting and descriptive.
Step 4- describe the pictures using what, where and when, then eventually why. Then they can use their words to create a descriptive sentence that describes the picture.
Step 5- making inferences about pictures. Explaining what happened or will happen based on information from the picture.

 

Associations

 

 

Associations

Here is a great activity to teach associations. You can have the children use playdoh to cover up the 2 items that go together, or the item doesn't belong with playdoh! Great idea to keep little hands busy and promote vocabulary. Printer-friendly- uses less ink!
***The answers are not included. You can use your professional judgement to decide if the answer is appropriate or not. For example, there is shampoo, a hat and soap. The child could answer that soap and shampoo are both items that wash, or they could say shampoo and a hat are both used on your hair/head. Some mats have apparent answers, and others are more complicated.
There are colour and black and white copies which you can send home for extra practice at home.
Note ** there are some variations between the coloured and black and white version simply due to the clip art I have :)

Teaching Concepts

How many times have you worked with your caseload and they need extra help with before and after? All the time, right?!

 
You can use this package in your special ed. class, speech therapy or classroom. You can use this with many different abilities. There are sheets where they have to explain the concepts (before/after, first, next and last) and worksheets that they write what happened before/after, etc. On many of the sheets, there is no right/wrong answer- use your judgement and let the child explain their answer if it makes sense accept it.  For example, some people brush their teeth first thing in the am and others after they eat breakfast.
I’ve included mats that you can use for centers in your class (pages 3-34), task cards (35-38), and colour, cut and paste worksheets (39-55).
There are also blank pages that you can use however you like
I hope you enjoy it and it works for your students.
