1st Quarter 2011-2012 School Year

Today is the end of the 1st quarter of the 2011-2012 school year! Wow, time sure flies! I am going to try to post a question of the week or an idiom of the week (such as "time flies") each week, as well as periodically posting updates about what is happening in speech and language at Wilson.

I have added many new links and home practice activities, as well as some of the speech/language blogs I follow. Please check them out!

New links added

Happy New Year! I know it has been too long since I have added anything to my blog. I just added two links under the "Useful Links for Parents and Students". Check back as I hope to add more articulation activities soon! Stay warm!
