Communication skills targeted: Requesting desired colors of paper, cereal, paints and markers, following directions, receptive identification of 2 word phrases and expressive naming of items in a book using sign language and verbalizations.
Today, we attempted to make turkeys using different colors of cereal glued on. Students first requested what color background paper they wanted and then glued on the turkeys. Students then requested the color of cereal that they wanted. The intent was to fill the middle of the turkey with different color cereal. Most of the students just ate the cereal and did not want to glue it on the turkey. Students also colored in the feathers of the turkey. It was a rough day for group and it didn't go nearly as well as we planned.
For the language activity, we used the Functional Language Program to work on receptive identification of two word phrases. Students were given two pictures. Each picture contained two nouns. Students were asked to select the picture named after hearing it verbally or signed. When students completed the receptive pointing task, they were allowed to use the bopper paints to decorate the turkey.
We ended group with a Thanksgiving book that we pulled in at the last minute. It was a counting book so we were able to practice verbalizing and signing the number of turkeys left on each page.
