II've never really been good at introducing partner talk to my students. So I have made it a goal this year. Yes we will be doing partner talk in pre-k:). Thanks to Kim Adsin at the I teach pre-k conference I have some ideas to use.
My favorite was the microphones. The kiddo holding the microphone is the one talking while the other needs to pay attention and listen.
So I set off to buy blowup microphones at the Dollar Tree and realized I have the lamest Dollar Tree ever:( So I put my little brain to use and came up with a plan.
First I had my husband cut a piece of PVC pipe. Each piece was 6" long he cut 12 total.
I spray painted them black.
Next, I took styrofoam balls and painted them a metallic gray.
After they dried I pressed the PVC pipe into the styrofoam ball to create a grove.
That I filled with hot glue and glued together, creating a microphone:)
