We are fortunate in our community to have a state university. As a result our K-8 school assumes an active role in new teacher preparation. (The university does NOT have a speech language pathology major, but that is a conversation for another day!) Between students completing observation requirements, practicums, and student teaching, young and enthusiasticContinue reading “Interview With a Student Teacher: Part 3 of the Blog Chronicles”

I don’t have a tattoo. I have no desire to see words or pictures forever emblazoned on my body. I especially don’t want to see what those cool tattoos melt into as I age and my skin loses its elasticity. I am very comfortable expressing my likes and feelings verbally or in paper and pencilContinue reading “Say It With Tats”

We hope you had as much fun hopping through all our April first posts as we did writing them! Well, how did you do? It’s now time for the big reveal. I played the role of a munchkin in a 2009 production of The Wizard of Oz This is a fact! Plymouth State University isContinue reading “The Fib Revealed”

Summer in New Hampshire is delightful. We do have a few days of intense heat, but overall, we can get away with a summer sans air conditioning, a fan no, but air conditioning, yes. Autumn is what we are famous for. Crisp, clear days of vibrant color. Winter begins around Thanksgiving and lasts until atContinue reading “Ode to Mud”

I have mentioned MANY times how the social media and blogging experience has opened a whole new world for me. I have made some really special friends. Recently while sharing something in a Facebook group, it occurred to me that some of these folks are the “best friends I have never met!” I am confident that somedayContinue reading “Two Facts and a Fib SLP Blog Hop”

You also may know that I have a hard time disposing of some of my older materials (and trash). Why discard somethingContinue reading “Another Oldie But Goodie”

The first installment is ready to go. Thanks to my good friend and teacher extraordinaire Patty for sharing her vision and her willingness to add to our understanding of how we can best work together. How do you see a true multidisciplinary team functioning? I see a true multidisciplinary team having a significant amount of time to plan daily. TeamContinue reading “"Interview with a Teacher " Part 2 of the Blog Chronicles”

I was reminded last October of a book series I read many years ago and really enjoyed, The Vampire Chronicles by Anne Rice. Yes, they could be somewhat dark, somewhat macabre but they were generally well written and entertaining. I especially liked the first two, Interview With a Vampire and The Vampire Lestat. From myContinue reading “"Interview with a_____" Part 1 of the Blog Chronicles”

I originally thought this would be a great post for Earth Day, but I’m a bit impulsive and I couldn’t wait. I may have overshared this already: I am an SLP hoarder. I can’t seem to discard my old cards and books, old blue dittos that still make great homework. I did discard the masters,Continue reading “I Love Trash”

Another wonderful link up with Mary of Old School Speech fame. This post is especially fun because WE WERE ON VACATION!!! February ended with winter break. The timing was perfect. I was in dire need of rest and that is what I got! The view at Ragged Mountain Mack, me, and Nora The kids andContinue reading “The Week in Review”
