We read the book You Think It's Easy being the Tooth Fairy, checked out some cool videos/songs, made a toothbrush with our speech sounds that will be great for practice, brushed a hippos teeth with an online game (click HERE), and played a tooth dice game.

Minute to Win It - Valentine's Edition

I wanted to share the fun we have been having this week while playing Minute to Win It - VALENTINE'S EDITION.  After the students worked hard on all of their speech goals, they earned a chance to battle it out in one of our two different Minute to Win It games.

First, we did lots of practice using our Valentine's Day slingshot game. Click HERE!


In this first game, the students had to sift through rice to find conversation hearts. The challenge was they had to do this with tweezers and with one hand behind their back.

                                     

Later in the week, we play Heart-a-Stack by stacking as many conversation hearts as we could in one minute.

Here is our Minute to Win It timer if you want to try these at home.
