Halloween Haunted Houses

Haunted Houses

Kindergarten and 1st grade students hid speech words inside 
their spooky, scary haunted houses!

Students practiced saying their target sound(s) by finding something 
in a window or the door of their haunted house
and saying, "I see a _________ in my haunted house!"

Ask your child to find their speech words with you!  

Happy Halloween!

Halloween Jokes

Halloween Jokes

Second and Third graders illustrated halloween jokes this week!

Jokes are a great way to enhance language development.
They target multiple meaning words, associations and rhyming 
to name a few.  You can find our HALLOWEEN JOKES in the hallway
outside of our speech room!

Fall Bucket List

Here is our "FALL Bucket List" for Speech and Language!

Bucket List - a list of activities a person tries to complete in a certain amount of time.

I am challenging my students to complete as many items as they can on our list 
during the fall season.  These are fun activities you can complete together as a family!

All of the activities listed on our bucket list will enhance both receptive (understanding of) and expressive (use of) language skills.  These activities target social skills, grammar, vocabulary and comprehension, sequencing, articulation and much more!

While completing an activity on the list, name items and ask questions (who, what where, when, why and how).  Comment on the things your child is doing and saying so they can hear (and learn) the new vocabulary!  If your child is working on specific speech sounds (articulation skills), point out words or items that have your child's target speech sound and practice saying them together!
Some of these activities may be new experiences for your child.  Children are usually curious and excited to try new things!

Make every opportunity a language learning activity!
Enjoy!

Speech Frogs

Check out our "Speech Frogs" we made in speech!

Kindergarten students decorated a frog, 
then added words with their target sound to the frog's tongue! 
Ask your child about their speech frog and
practice the speech words at home too!
