Is it just here in Kansas City that kiddos are generally CRAZY about 2 things… Angry Birds and Phineas and Ferb. They think the step-brothers, their projects, tattling sister, secret Agent P (Perry the Platypus) and show are HILARIOUS! After many requests for P&F, I had a mini-pun pop in my head. Ferb and Verb […]
**AWESOME NEW WEBSITE ALERT!***
I just found a great resource for curricular vocabulary goals. It looks like it’s currently in a beta version (the testing version before it is finalized and launched) but is user-friendly and is looking to be something I will use with my language kiddos! Word Dynamo is a website from dictionary.com! It allows you to […]
Art and Inferencing/Predicting Collide!
I appreciate and love art but have noticed that my students have very little knowledge about famous paintings/artwork (much unlike their insane knowledge of cartoons, video games, and apps). So, it’s difficult to find things that they do not have prior knowledge of to use for inferences/predictions. I was browsing my photos of artwork that […]
Splendid Summer!
For those of you in the school setting, summer is a wonderful time that we look forward to! However, we know that oftentimes, our students do not continue to work as diligently on their speech and language skills during these weeks off. I’m a huge believer in providing parents/guardians with the resources they need during […]
Batter Up!
It’s baseball season and here in Kansas City, we have the All-Star game to host this year. So, in the spirit of another “promising” season of baseball throughout the country, I made up an all-purpose All-Star baseball game for use as a reinforcement activity in the classroom, speech room, and at home! You could use […]
DIY of the Week: Silly Speech Sound Sticks
It’s standardized testing time in Missouri which means that my mornings are consumed with testing and my weeks packed with sessions and meetings. So, new materials have been on the back burner. I did think of one material and have started making the /r/ version of it first and will move to other sounds as […]
Flashcard Apps for iTherapy {App Reviews}
If you’re a SLP on the go, a parent wanting to have resources handy, or an iPad aficionado you will most likely learn to use a Flashcard app on your iPad/iPhone/iPod. There are several free options but it is difficult to know which one will suit you best. I took a look at the top […]
DIY of the Week: Articulation Battle Boats!
Ahoy Mateys! It’s a busy time of the year with evaluations and standardized testing but I have managed to squeeze out one new idea recently. I have had TONS of requests from my students for me to “find” my Battleship game that had “magically” disappeared from the speech room after countless failed attempts to teach […]
St.Patrick’s Day
We are about four weeks away from St. Patrick’s day and the invasion of the color green. However, if you’re like me, you need to start gathering materials for that week so that it can be ready to go! I’ve started re-vamping and creating materials to use and finding materials online. Here are the documents […]
DIY of the week! Artic. Towers!
I can in no way, shape, or form take full credit for this great idea. However, I modified it for my use with /s/ and /r/ in therapy and my kids LOVE it! They are known in my room as Artic. Towers! What you need for 1 tower: 1 – Pringles Can (I got the […]
