My Project

I am a brand new Speech-Language Pathologist in a Title I school and I am hoping to build the foundation of my speech therapy room by gaining basic resources that I do not have -- books, games, and materials! I want my caseload of students (K-5) to have fun in a functional way. I want their time away from their classroom to be worth it! I am hoping these materials will set that foundation and continue to grow! I am excited to serve my students to the best of my ability as a first year teacher!
