Learning update: January 17

Last week we started introducing a core word of the week into our learning. Core vocabulary refers to the most used words in the English language. For example, words like "can", "do", "put", and "open" are all core words. The image below is of a core board, which we use with our students to support their receptive and expressive communication.

Last week's core word of the week was "like". We read stories during circle time that allowed us to model the use of the word "like" while pointing to the "like" picture on the core board. Anytime during the day when we used the word "like" we would reference it on a core board for our students.

Next week's core word of the week is "go". We are going to read the story "Go, Dog, Go!" and model usage of the word "go" on our core board. We are going to tie this learning into our predictable chart writing lessons by having our shared writing lesson focus on things that go.



Below are some photos from gym last week. The students enjoyed playing on scooter boards, and going through obstacle courses.
