Today in summer ESY… we worked on Yes/No with a fun Green Eggs and Ham game! First we read Green Eggs and Ham, then we used a spatula to scoop, flip, and decide if it had a smiley face on back. Super fun! #slp #speechtherapy #esy #asd

Yesterday a little one graduated from speech and today she gave me this 🥹 (side note: I am the only speech therapist in the school, but I’ll still take it 😉).

WO Twitter, spread the word! My class is hosting an event to share with the world that “You Matter. Your story matters!” We will have food trucks, games for all ages, community partners with information and activities, and above all else, fun! Friday,June 3rd, 5-7PM @GreatLakesWO

Talking to your children about violence-tips for families and educators.

Just reflecting on yesterday, when 2 of my speech students told me they wished they could be in speech for an hour everyday to work on their sounds and spend time with me 🥹 my heart is so full working with these kids. ❤️ #speechtherapy #slp

I got to read to 2 fantastic kinder classes this past week to celebrate March is Reading Month! Love being able to see the joy for reading in these little ones 📚💗

We were a sea of RED today for our portion of the 🌈! Our guest reader was Mrs. Smyk. It was a busy and fun filled half day! 💄💃🏻👠🧣🎒🍎🍉🍒🌶🍓 📕

Had so much fun reading one of my favorite spring books, “There was an Old Lady Who Swallowed a Frog” to this great Kinder class! 📚🐸💐

@YbemaWO So creative! Love it ☺️

Engineer in the making 😊

Deuces February. ✌🏽

The bulletin board across from my room was looking a little empty… took some time after school to brighten it up today #BlackHistoryMonth

When your upper elementary students just want to talk about “Encanto” you turn it into a language therapy session! Targeted story grammar, recalling details & expanding utterances, sequencing, and using descriptive vocab. (*The picture contains spoilers for the movie*)

Thankful to be doing what I love every single day 🥰

Here is the link to the San Diego Zoo live cams. The students loved seeing the animals in action while using different describing words to talk about the environment, movements, and characteristics of the animals. zoo.sandiegozoo.org/live-cams

This week in speech…Animals! We took a virtual field trip to the San Diego Zoo and used their animal live cameras to work on our describing skills. We also did some predicting with a fun book! Articulation students practiced talking about animals that have their speech sounds.

@WOSpeechie @LakeshoreWO We’re talking about Veteran’s day today too! So awesome.

So moved by the conversations language students have had this week about veterans and how to honor them in our everyday lives. I work with some beautiful little souls at @LakeshoreWO!

This week in speech… dinosaurs! 🦕🦖 this is one of my FAVORITE books to use. We can work on so many things with it! Today we practiced “R” and “S” while talking about the dinosaurs, inferencing to predict which dinosaur will win, & using conjunctions to make compound sentences
