HELLO TWENTY TWENTY-THREE!
We made it, folks!! This is my FIRST blog post of the year. I couldn’t be more excited to share the outcome of a small project I envisioned for some time now. You will find it useful and feel empowered to bring these ideas into your sessions. Enjoy the gift of time during those busy days when you most need it. This New Years around the world lesson plan celebrates diversity!
Check out my FREE lesson plan in my TPT store with inspiration for celebrating New Years around the world! Check back frequently as I will be share a new blog monthly.
As I explore ways to be inclusive and culturally responsive in my therapy sessions, I thought I could do so by celebrating heritage months. With that, I researched ideas that I could compile together into a single lesson plan. While these lesson plans are not pages long or significantly extensive, they will get you thinking of different ideas to incorporate into your sessions that align with these heritage months. Of course, you can use these lesson plans at anytime and not just within a specific heritage month.
Each month, I will be sharing a free lesson plan highlighting ways to celebrate and learn about different heritages and cultural traditions. I am starting out January with the theme “New Years Around The World!” I absolutely love this theme and think you will find it engaging for your students. You can work on pretty much any speech/language goal with these resources. Within each lesson plan you will find links to free and inexpensive resources including but not limited to You Tube (™) videos, Epic Book (™) collections, work created by TPT authors, and the list goes on.
Session Inspiration
- Review New Years traditions around the world. Once you have reviewed them, use a graphic organizer to compare/contract the different traditions. Cast votes on which new tradition you think would be fun to try.
- Explore recipes that are commonly served around the world during New Years celebrations. You can create a recipe book for your students to bring home.
Be on the lookout for new FREE lesson plans each month! Next up, Black History Month!
