🔎 Teacher notes & Differentiation

Goal: Build vocabulary, safe observation skills and one-sentence literacy using a special interest (drains and bugs).

Supports for diverse learners:

- Minimal language: Offer picture choices or model the sentence: "I saw a ____." Child can point, say the word or choose a picture card.

- Attention & regulation: Keep tasks short (5–10 minutes), include movement breaks, use a visual timer and allow a preferred item during work.

- Communication: Accept alternative responses (pointing, gestures, single words, drawing). Use simple yes/no or choice questions.

- Sensory & safety: Use gloves, tongs, torch and mirror for observing; never force touch. Have adult supervise all drain visits.

- Extension: For an advanced learner, add a simple sentence writing task: "The drain bug is a ____ because ____."

Assessment tip: Note if the child can pick a word, follow 1–2 step instructions and point to matching descriptions. Celebrate small efforts and keep the activity playful and novel.
