Last Week of Speech

We will be celebrating the end of speech this week! I will be assessing students to determine their yearly progress, and they will get free choice after assessments. I am proud of everyone’s hard work this year! Let’s have a great week and a wonderful end to an awesome year. I will be out on Friday so I can attend my son’s kindergarten graduation!

C…A…T…S…CATS, CATS, CATS!

by Administrator

I know students will be very excited this week as we get ready for Spring Break. Hopefully, we CAN all concentrate long enough to good practice in before we have a week off. Parents, please take an hour next week to help your child practice their good speech, language, and fluency! Play a game, read a book, cook dinner together, or go on a walk. You all will find lots to talk about!

I hope everyone gets to stay up a little bit late tonight to cheer our CATS on to victory! Have a great week!
