Language In the Classroom: 1st grade

As a part of intervention services I do language in the classroom. It not only gives me the ability to help teachers with students on the bubble, but I also get to help my identified students with generalization of their goals!

I try to pick a common core standard to work on so it benefits all the students. Then I tweak it a little so I can work with my IEP kids on their goals in the general education setting. This week we have been targeting homonyms.

Sounds the Same scramble

This game I made on the fly... and the kids really enjoyed it. You can find a copy of this activity here

To prepare:
Print cut and laminate pictures of homonyms
Print homonym work sheets.

To Play:
Pass out homonyms pairs randomly through out the classroom.
Explain to students that homonyms are two words that sound the same but have a different meaning.

 Have students find their "word" partner. Each student illustrates their word and writes a sentence using their word that illustrates the meaning of the word.
