The Speech Space is hosting this fabulous linky party {read more here }. I'm so excited to share 5 things you (probably) didn't know about me. 1. I'm from Ohio (born and raised) but went to Texas (University of North Texas, to be exact) for grad school. The reason? I needed a warm winter. Just one. Just... one.... 2 & 3. I am a super nerd. Super. Nerd. I have a huge obsession with medieval history, and have a room in my house that is medieval-history themed. It includes a sword (yes, a legit sword) and a tapestry. We are about to renovate this room and I'm PUMPED. Pictures coming soon. 4. Back to the nerd thing. We are OBSESSED with Game of Thrones (the show and the books)... (Winter is coming...) ...and I have a huge obsession with the Wars of the Roses, which I think resembles some of the drama in Game of Thrones. 5. Last but not least, we take holidays very seriously in my house. VERY. Seriously. I'm so glad you stopped by. You now know what a HUGE nerd I a

It's almost time to gobble up all that turkey, but before that happens, I'd love to let you take a peek at what I've been up to in my speech room! First of all, I'm hoping that you didn't miss the Turkey Talk Blog Hop . I teamed up with Speechasaurus, The Speech Attic, and Speech Wonderland to provide you with some wonderful Turkey Day freebies! You can start the blog hop here . My students were loving it this week, and it was so nice to have ready-to-go materials for so many of my sessions. I do have to mention one conversation I had with a student. I told her we were going to read a story about a turkey named Toby. Without hesitation, my student asked, "Did Toby get eaten?" It's just not that kind of story. The next thing we're doing in my speech room? I'm heading into the classroom to do a group language lesson. I love doing a "Follow the Directions" activity with these kiddos- either a snacktivity or a craftivity. Since last week

This week, Heidi from SmartmouthSLP shares her #speechtherapyoops with you- and it's AWESOME. Take it away, Heidi.... My OOPS moment… Heidi Britz ( SmartmouthSLP ) Hello!   I’m Heidi Britz from SmartmouthSLP and I am very excited/embarrassed to share my “oops” moment with the world on The Pedi Speechie’s fabulous blog!   I am into my 20-something year as a SLP, but I still have those oops moments.   I laugh at myself and learn from them, that’s the best I can do! My OOPS moment came several years ago in my school.   I was excited and nervous to be observed by our Teacher of the Year committee.   I planned my group activity for a bunch of second grade students with speech and language disorders.   I carefully aligned the lesson plan to the classroom curriculum and my focus was to target decoding, blending and defining the vocabulary words in context from the language arts story they were reading. I thought I was being smart by sorting all the letters out prior to the lesson to make

The holidays are quickly approaching, and I can't stop thinking to myself: "Where has the school year gone?!" It's seriously FLYING by. A group of my blogging friends and I got together and decided we wanted to help our fellow SLPs celebrate Thanksgiving the best way we know how: by saying THANK YOU with a freebie. We are so thankful for all of you! Not just one freebie, mind you. We know how fun it is using books and stories in therapy, so we thought: let's make a book companion! This is not just ANY book companion. The story of Toby the Turkey was written by yours truly. You can snag that part here at my TPT store but make sure to read the rest of this post first!!! It's important. Check out this sample page... I know what you're thinking. "This story looks amazing. I NEED to keep reading. What's going to happen to Toby? Why isn't he thankful?" You now know how to download this free and incredible story, but that's like only eatin

Hi everyone!  I'm Kristin from Talkin' with Twang . I have absolutely loved reading the speech therapy...oops posts here at The Pedi Speechie.  There's just something comforting about knowing that I'm not the only one who has had those oops moments during speech.  Even some seasoned SLPs have had a moment where they said, "Oops!" Today, I get to share one of my speech therapy "oops" moments with you. Now, let me preface by saying that I am far from being a seasoned SLP.  I just completed my graduate program this past August and I am about twelve weeks into my CFY as I write this.  Needless to say, I have had quite a few "oops" moments so far, and I expect to have many more over the coming years.  But I do try to learn from my "oops" moments and try not to repeat them! After thinking back on the past 2 years, I decided to share the "oops" session that went all wrong on a day I was being observed by my grad school professo

This week, Sarah over at Short and Sweet Speech is going to share her #speechtherapyoops with you! "Hey y'all! I'm Sarah from Short and Sweet Speech and in the spirit of "Oops!" I forgot to send my post on time! So, first, I'd like to apologize for my tardiness during this busy time of year. Now for the real "Oops!" Let me start with a little background.. My entire life up until my senior year of college, I had an imperfect smile. Genetics had left me with gaps between my 6 front teeth. Not huge, gaps, but enough to make a girl a little self-conscious. My senior year of college I decided to finally talk to my dentist about changing this. After weighing all of the options and looking at my unique situation, we decided two bridges of crowns to go over my six front teeth were the best option. I went in, had a little laughing gas and came out with a beautiful new smile. It changed my entire face. Truly. There was one problem though.. With these gorge
