A Whole Month?! + a FREEBIE

Whew! Where has the time gone? I can’t believe the last post was almost a month ago! It’s like school started or something рџ™‚
 
I am so excited about this school year. After having some unintentional time away from the world of speech therapy, I feel like I’m rediscovering myself. I’m getting to know what professional happiness feels like again.
 
My fellow teachers and students are getting to know
Mrs. B, too. It’s always interesting figuring out how the new school works and what the norms and mores are for that particular staff and faculty. Like a lot of you SLPs out there, I’m split between campuses this year so, I’ve got to get to know two of everything!
 
One thing I’ve come to know with my intermediate level kiddos is that some of them understand why they’re coming to speech class and others have no clue. I think it’s important for students to know the purpose of their learning, and speech goals are no exception. I’m loving the Common Core “I can” statements I’ve been seeing on Pinterest, Teacher’s Notebook, and Teachers Pay Teachers. My district hasn’t moved to Common Core yet, but we’ll be getting there soon.
 
In the meantime, I’ve created this little activity to help my students get to know one another and facilitate some conversation about speech therapy goals and outcomes. You can grab it here free by clicking on the picture below.

I hope you’re all having a great start to the school year. Come back soon for loads of Sweet Speech Halloween themed games and activities.
