Well, my school was participating in this program.  I realized what a great way for me to work on speech and language skills with my students and also have them participate in this great project!

What goals did I address?

  • Vocabulary
  • Verb tenses
  • Sentence structure
  • Following directions
  • Requesting
  • Prepositions
  • and more!
How did I address following directions?
  • I gave my students steps on how to complete the task that they had to follow
  • I differentiated, some students got a model, others just verbal instructions, others I wrote steps down for them
  • Pick paper, pick marker, fold paper, write message, decorate
What vocabulary did I teach and how?
  • I presented students with a visual with a list of vocabulary words
  • We went through each word and students had to express what it means and use in a sentence
  • If they did not know what they meant, or couldn't express on their own, I gave them a sentence so they could use context clues.
  • Then students were required to use multiple vocabulary words in their cards to demonstrate understanding.
  • Vocabulary: Valentine, Veteran, fight, serve, hero, peace, freedom, country, military, army, navy, etc.
I know for my school, the local legislature is running the program and will be picking up the Valentine's to deliver them.
