Pumpkins, leaves and APPLES! Fall is around the corner and to kick off my favorite season, I am launching a new monthly series packed with free resources and therapy ideas. For September, the theme is "apples!"
Anchor Chart: Creating an anchor chart with your students allows them to take ownership of their learning and provides a visual reference that they can use throughout the unit.
Reading Comprehension Passage with Vocabulary Cards: Prior to reading the passage, review the vocabulary words with your students. A "teacher copy" is also included for the reading passage to compare comprehension accuracy at the beginning and end of the unit/month. Looking for more passages similar to this one? Click Here.
Apple Description: This is a fun activity to encourage your students to use all of their senses when describing (if applicable).
"Where is the Apple?" Prepositional Activity Book: Instruct students to draw an apple based of the location prompted on each page. I laminated these pages so that students could use a dry erase marker and I could reuse it for multiple sessions.
Apple Craft:
Materials- Paper plate, red and green paint, seeds, glue and scissors
Steps:
Cut the side of the plate (see picture) and paint green.
Paint the top and bottom of the plate red.
Once the "leaves" dry, glue them on the top of the plate from the back.
Finally, glue seeds in the middle of the plate.
