All Wrapped Up In Speech!

We were feeling very festive this week in speech! We read Where's My Mummy? by Carolyn Crimi. This book is one of my favorites! It is an adorable story about Little Baby Mummy, who wants to play one last game of Hide & Shriek with Big Mama Mummy before going to bed. He then goes on an adventure where he meets a few spooky characters, and one not so spooky character before being reunited with his "mummy." This book is perfect for Halloween, discussing family, making text-to-self connections, sequencing, and playing up puns!

 

 

After we read the book, we made our own mummies! I pre-cut black circles for the eyes, cut white construction paper into strips for the bandages, and used a paper plate as the face. I asked my language groups comprehension questions about the story, and for each question they answered, they earned a bandage. I did this with my speech groups, as well, but they had to say target words for their bandages! Here's a picture of our mummies outside of my room:

 

 

As the students glued their bandages, I asked them about a time they were scared and what their mummy did to make them feel better. For my PK & kindergarten kiddos, I wrote their answers on a printed prompt for them that said:

 

"Today we read Where's My Mummy? and made text-to-self connections!

When I'm scared, my mummy...."

 

I got some pretty good answers! I then glued the response onto black construction paper where I taped on the mummy face. Here's a picture of my favorite response of the day:
