7 Sacred Teachings

 

 Do you work with a First Nation population?

Here are some ideas that increase the speech and language of children while respecting the First Nation culture. 

 

RESPECT

This package is a starting point for children (aged 5-10) that targets traditional teachings and language targets. The first of the seven sacred teachings, also known as the Grandfather Teachings, is the Buffalo (a symbol of respect). In this pack, I use traditional items to teach language skills that we target in speech therapy. These targets are useful to know for the classroom as well as at home.
•This pack is meant to be used in conjunction with your traditional teachings and beliefs with the help of your elders. Feel free to change/add/modify the lessons to accommodate your beliefs are and the beliefs of the people in your area. It is important to seek out an elder to help teach students your language and to share stories.
This 69-page pack targets Respect- the Buffalo.
Included in this pack are activities on:

• categories- traditional and non-traditional items
• sorting vehicles, food, animals and clothing
• prepositions
• sensory bin items
• Respect- what it looks like, how we can show it in our home, school and community. 

And much more!
