February Speech Therapy

Image
We've been busy in my speech therapy room this February! I can't believe March will be here tomorrow. It's an exciting month, because I will get to find out my baby's gender, and it's Spring Break! I'm looking forward to relaxing with family and friends, and my husband plans to start painting the nursery. I also just might do a bit of shopping for this baby, since I'll finally know if I'm buying for a little Miss or Mister. Can't wait! Anyways, with Presidents' Day this month, we had plenty to discuss. I found this awesome Bald Eagle Craft and template from allkidsnetwork.com. I created a series of visual directions to go along with craft. I'm sorry- I can't make this available in my store due to copyright restrictions with images, many of which are from Google. I just wanted to show you a sample- feel free to re-create this in your own speech room. My kids find visual directions very necessary, and I also like to have a finished craft t

Carryover Articulation (American History/ Founding Fathers Themed)

Okay, I'm sure many of you have some upper elementary/ middle school articulation students who are so. sick. of. drill. Honestly, by this age, it can be a little tricky to get some of these students motivated. After first creating my Medieval/ Renaissance English History Carryover Articulation packet (Henry VIII + speech therapy?! yes please!!!), I had a request to make a similar packet targeting the Founding Fathers .

BOOM. (Oh, if you AREN'T a history nerd, no worries. You'll still love this packet ). Oh, and did I mention- each story comes with an additional worksheet with comprehension questions? It's allowed me to use these worksheets in

Winter Speech Therapy

I have totally failed in blogging recently. I've been meaning to share what's been going on in my therapy room. I've taken pictures, had lots of ideas for new products, but... it hasn't happened. I promise though, I have a very good excuse. The reason it hasn't happened is EXTREME fatigue and nausea. Now that we have finally shared our exciting news with family, though, I can announce that my husband and I are expecting a child this summer! Wahoo! It's our first, and I think it will be quite a shock for our little fur child, Moo! Anyways, back to the speech stuff. December was a great time to break out some worksheets from my Christmas Speech & Language packet . Pictured is the Santa's Favorite Social Skills worksheet. This packet also includes worksheets to target articulation, writing sentences with target words, conjunctions, following directions, wh- questions, synonyms, antonyms, categories, and more.
