Engaging Hands-On Activities

Help me give my students fun and engaging activities to help encourage and improve their communication skills. I prefer to stay away from devices and focus on hands on, creative learning activities.

My Project

Imagine a world where communication can open doors, express ideas, unlock understanding, and build lifelong friendships. For many children I work with in grades 1-3, this seemingly basic skill remains a significant hurdle. As a speech-language pathologist, I witness daily the struggles and triumphs of young minds grappling with communication challenges spanning various diagnoses.

My mission is to empower these children to find their voice and unlock their full potential through fun, hands on activities away from screens.

However, my current classroom resources limit the tools and storage available; that's where your support comes in. Please consider helping me provide engaging tools to build my students' confidence, social emotional learning, fine motor skills, critical thinking skills, and so much more.
