Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

Celebrate Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.

My Project

As a Speech/Language Pathologist, providing engaging materials during speech therapy sessions is essential to captivate my students and scaffold their learning to address their individual speech and language goals. Thematic, literacy-based therapy is a great way to address communication skills!

My students absolutely love thematic therapy and the fun, interactive materials that go along with each topic!

Thematic lessons engage and support my diverse learners. The books, games, and activities in this project will allow me to focus on articulation, language, social skills, and many other communication skills. The snowman theme will provide us with a fun way to experience winter in sunny Southern California!

Thank you in advance for your interest and support!
