**************************************
 JANUARY

WELCOME BACK!!! It certainly was a nice break.  I hope you all came back refreshed and ready to work!

This month we will be talking about WINTER...brrrrrr.  We will be targeting listening, vocabulary, and speech sounds that talk about the season.

The week of Jan 4-8:  Penguins
The week of Jan 11-15: Snowflakes
The week of Jan 18-22: Snowmen
The week of Jan 25-29: Winter/Season

Students will be playing snow games, using creative writing with snowflakes, reading stories, we might even have some hot cocoa and marshmallows!!! All of this fun while working on our goals for speech and language.

SOME OF OUR BOOKS WE ARE READING THIS MONTH!!! 


When we use books in therapy, we transform them into lessons.  We can learn new vocabulary, strengthen our listening and attention skills, and we can work on answering those "wh" questions about what we heard.  There are always ways to get our speech sound practice in also.

If you want to do this at home, and need help, just ask me!  I can help make up the vocabulary list, talk about ways to improve your child's phonemic awareness skills with sounds/rhyme/letters. I can help you develop those "wh" questions. Besides all this, enjoy reading with your children!!  They love to listen to stories and what a great time to spend with them.

It is almost report card time, so I will be collecting progress data to show how your child is making wonderful progress!

***Don't forget!!  There is only a 1/2 day of school on Thurs., Jan. 28th, and no school for kids on Jan. 29th.  

Stay warm this month!
