Our son recently started a new speech therapy program where he attends a language lab for 3 hours a week that follows a set theme (doctors office, garden, farm) each week while working intensely with the kids on their language.
I fell in love with this technique the first time we tried it because it gives our son more real-world language and BONUS gives me a great starting spot to plan out more activities and learning at home.
This week, they will be focusing on pet stores/shop so I planned some activities over the weekend and set a super small budget for buying a few items. I already have a huge stash of felt to work with and am pretty savvy about whipping together any vocabulary/number/ABC cards that we could use. The calendar below shows a rough run-down of the activities we may (or may not) get to.
I'm pretty loose structure wise and feel that if we get a couple of things done throughout the day with our going out activities (speech, gymnastics, story time at library, park time, church meetings) and my husbands business calls (work from home bliss with a toddler) then we are doing pretty good.
