Common Core Goal Bank!

      Hello my follow speech paths! How many of you waste time having to look up the common core standards in order to write your long term goals and short term objectives?! That was definitely me constantly looking up the common core standards and then going through them to try and find a goal that would match what a speech path might actually work on. 

Baseline Data Tracking

     Collecting baseline data always makes me feel a little overwhelmed at the beginning of the school year. I know I have to do it though. :) I need to know where each kiddo is at and to document that they have made progress throughout the school year. I started thinking I wanted to make something that was simple to implement. As I'm sure you know how much free time a speech therapist has. 

Back to School Giveaway!

     It's almost here! Back to school shopping has already started. I've found an amazing white blazer at Banana for 50% off! I was so excited I just had to buy it! I'm a big sucker for a great sale though. :) But you know what's even better than a sale...FREE! Yes, I'm giving away my back to school Articulation Baseline bundle away for FREE to someone who "likes" my facebook page and pins one of my pins onto their pinterest pages. 

Personalize Your Articulation Deck of Cards

     Who doesn't love coloring?! I remember when I was really little I was riding my bike and I was going down a hill and flipped over my handle bars. I had scarped up my face pretty good so my aunt bought me a coloring book. It was my favorite coloring book and I still have it to this day. :) Do any of your students enjoy coloring or playing card games and have articulation therapy goals? 

Homework Fun with Speech Therapy

      Are you getting ready to for when your students get back to school? Okay it might be a little early for some speech paths out there, but I'm feeling rested and excited to get started! Last year was the first year I sent home a weekly homework assignment for each one of my kiddos. I received great feedback from parents so I decided I'd do it again this year! 

Jump into Summer Fun

       Can you believe it's already officially summer time! It's amazing how fast time can pass when you're having fun! I decided again this summer to send home summer homework to keep my kiddos thinking about their therapy goals. I didn't want to overwhelm them and wanted to make sure they had plenty of fun this summer so I made sure that it was simple, easy to use, and quick. 

Thinking About my Mother :)

       With Mother's Day on it's way now that it's officially May I have been thinking about my mom and what to get her to say thanks for being such a great mother to me and my sister. If you've never been inside of the Paper Source store it is a MUST go and see! It has some amazingly cute Mother's Day ideas and crafts that you can create.
