Halloween’s Over! Now What Do I Do in Speech Therapy?!

Halloween fell on a Tuesday this year.  It kind of messed up my week.  My themes are each set for a whole week.  I don't know about you, but I feel weird doing Halloween activities on November 1st in speech therapy.  Thus, making my week very "unsymmetrical." (Did I seriously just use the word "thus"?!)  It's… Continue reading Halloween’s Over! Now What Do I Do in Speech Therapy?!

Speech Therapy Theme Review: Scarecrows
