This will help set everyone up for success with remote learning. Click here. If you can only choose one resource to begin with, this video is excellent. It does take an hour to watch.

Links to communication boards can be found here.

Also check out this page for videos of demonstrations practicing core words.

Student Activities

Have students watch videos featuring the core word "where". Model how to find and select the word on their devices or communication boards while watching the videos. If this is easy, make it more challenging! Model sentences like "Where go?" or "Where is it?" Feel free to pause the video and watch as many times as you would like.

Video Recommendations:

Choose one activity to complete 5 minutes each day. Focus on modeling the word "where" during this time. Review these ideas for an activity to try that you think your child would find fun.

• Hide and Seek: Where is s/he?

• Playing with a doll house: Where should the baby go? Where is daddy?, etc...

• Playing with cars: Where is your car going?

• Treasure Hunt. "Hide" small toys or snacks in different areas around the room and go on a treasure hunt to find them. "Where is it?".
