My Students
My students say, "What are we doing today? Can we play a game?" You play a game one time with your students and they always want games. So I have to think of ways to make my students think they are playing a game all of the time. I try to make my learning as fun as it can be. This means teaching with hands-on materials.
I work with ages 4-12 as a speech therapist.
So all my kids have some sort of speech or language need. The needs can range from just some difficulties with some speech sounds to autism to a severe learning disability. All my students are different which makes teaching both exciting and a challenge. I see my students one to three times a week depending on their mandates. My students have all different backgrounds and learning needs. Hands-on learning helps children learn by having fun. They tend to remember more when there are hands-on activities.
My Project
I am requesting good old fashioned books for my speech room! I am trying to be optimistic that in person therapy will work this year and we can go back to some normalcy. Some of the books I am requesting like Bubble Gum Brain and Fantastic Elastic Brain are for having a more flexible way of thinking to support my social students and also help with what is happening in our world currently. Other books like I Wanna Iguana and Perfect Pet will support my kids with opinion units in school. Books like Nerdy Birdy, Porcupine named Fluffy and Tacky the Penguin are engaging stories so I can work on story retell and story grammar elements with my students. I also am requesting a TPT gift card to help supplement these books with materials or anything else that may help my students this upcoming year!
