As we begin American Education Week and the Thanksgiving season, may we appreciate all in our community that assist our students in becoming our future!
The first trimester is nearing a close and I am very pleased with the amount of parental support and practice my students are doing at home! This type of support helps them to progress at a notable rate. Thanksgiving is an opportune time to work on language and articulation as there is so much to discuss and family to enjoy. Take advantage of the chance to work on /th/ in Thanksgiving and Thank You and Thankful, etc. There are some great and fun Thanksgiving books to read together - "10 Fat Turkeys," "Thanksgiving is Here," and "Thanksgiving on Plymouth Plantation," to name a few. This is also a great time to work on following directions and sequencing if you choose to let your children help in the kitchen, or setting the table, or completing those extra chores we have to get ready for our feast!
Enjoy the next couple of weeks and have a wonderful fall season.
"Too often we underestimate the power of a touch, a smile, a kind word, a listening ear, an honest compliment, or the smallest act of caring, all of which have the potential to turn a life around."
