This week Miss Carrie said that there were a lot of foods we like and foods we don't like. It's okay if someone likes a particular food that you don't. It is okay if you like a food that your friend doesn't like. Miss Carrie brought a lot of pictures of food to class.
We practiced asking "Do you like _________?" and named the food. Then we practiced saying "I like it" and gave a 'thumbs up', and "I don't like it" and gave a 'thumbs down'.
Miss Carrie handed pictures to everyone. We showed the pictures to our friends and teachers and took turns asking "Do you like cookies?, Do you like spaghetti? Do you like apples? Do you like hot cocoa?"
Miss Carrie really likes tomatoes, french fries, spaghetti, broccoli, and hot cocoa. She really doesn't like peanut butter or peas. She also said that she keeps trying food she thinks she doesn't like to see if she changed her mind. Sometimes we change our minds as we get older.
DO THIS AT HOME: look at pictures of food in a magazine or cookbook or discuss food at your meal time. Do you like it? Do you not like it? Did you try it? This is a great way for kids working on /l/ to practice it. It is a great way to help kids expand phrases.
