2014 Speech Olympics... Cancelled due to Snow

Sadly the snowpocalypse is putting a serious damper on our speech Olympics... I had a full week of activities planned including art projects, games, and competitions for my speech kiddos to take part in/earn their gold medals.  The first two days of our Speech Olympics were a blast. We made Olympic torches, competed in table curling, and read about/watched videos of our favorite sports.  I am bummed that our Speech Olympics were cut short, but even sadder that this snow means we probably lost our Spring Break (#schoolSLPproblems).  I'm trying to find the positive in this situations which is more time to get ready for our Black History Month theme next week and get some other materials made.

A lot of my kiddos had no clue what the Winter Olympics entailed... 

to get ready for our Speech Olympics we watched this video to learn about the Winter Olympics.  We also worked on our regular and irregular past tense verbs by pausing the video and talking about what the athletes did.

The entrance to our Speech Olympics... on the back wall are all the kiddos flags we made last week.  Each one represents my kiddos just like each flag in the Olympics represents a country. 

Some of my kinders with their Olympic torches... we wrote our special sound words on each of the flames. 

We worked on creating grammatically correct statements and using adverbs

We read about some of our (and by our I mean my) favorite winter sports and filled out a graphic organizer about what we read. 

A lot of our Speech Olympic activities came from my Speech Olympic packet that can be found in my TpT store.
