APRIL

SPRING HAS ARRIVED!! So happy to see the snow melt away.  Not so happy about the rain.  But our plants and grass will need it.  I came back from our Spring break rested, relaxed and ready to work for the next 9 weeks. 

This month we will be looking at our individual goals and taking lots of data.  I usually see a huge amount of progress from my students.   

We will be starting a spring unit this month.  We will be using spring vocabulary, do a bulletin board project, and read stories about Spring. We will find words with our sounds in them. We will be creating sentences to help with our expression and grammar. 

Our Bulletin Board "Speech Garden" turned out great!  It is not often that we get to color in speech, so the kids really liked this activity.  They were so creative in their coloring, and it was a great opportunity to have fun spontaneous conversations.  Of course it was a good opportunity for me to listen and see if they are carrying over their skills too!
