Welcome Back!

I do hope that everyone enjoyed their spring break and has come back refreshed and ready for the last trimester. Spring allows us plenty of opportunities to speak with our children and do plenty of hands-on activities both inside and outside. As daylight becomes more abundant, we have more time to spend outdoors describing the changes nature is taking, working together, and playing.

March is an Exciting Month!

There is so much that happens in March, including many celebrations and days off! There are Institute Days, Casimir Pulaski Day, St. Patrick's Day, conferences, and of course, Spring Break. Yet, we are still working hard here and have been celebrating Dr. Seuss' birthday this month! It is one of my favorites as the books are fun to read and they promote rhyming and repetition which is wonderful for speech and language teaching and practice. I do hope that you enjoy reading with your children, too. I found a great website that has plenty of activities you can do with the kids at home and continue to practice while having fun!

As we end the second trimester, you have received updated progress reports. If you have any questions or comments, please email or call me at any time. I will be happy to speak with you regarding your child's progress!

Enjoy the extra time you get to spend with your child this month - cherish each moment - they're not little for long.

"Kind words are a creative force, a power that concurs in the building up of all that is good, and energy that showers blessings upon the world."

February is Here

We have had much fun with different themes this month - Groundhog Day, Valentine's Day, and upcoming President's Day. Your children and I have incorporated these exciting things into our lessons this month. I have posted a homework page to use for practice this month on articulation and language. Please continue to practice at home with your children to ensure their success and keep them motivated as they progress. Home support is crucial for carryover of skills they learn and work on in speech once or twice per week.

Enjoy the three-day weekend! As always, I am available if you have any questions or concerns.
