This year one of my school districts is getting the awesome opportunity to communicate throughout the year with an astronaut who will be stationed at the international space station. The even better part is he attended elementary school here as well. Needless to say, this elementary school has chosen a school wide space theme for the coming school year. I don't do it as much as I'd like to, but this year I'm going to try to tie my services into as many project based activities as I can. This may just be a small beginning, but will help serve as a reminder throughout the school year.
Almost all of my students start a spiral at the beginning of each school year. Everything targeted during our speech sessions are put into this spiral so they can be easily accessed for review. Not only that, but at the end of the school year, the spiral can be sent home with the student for them to either review over the summer or some new activities can even be included for them to complete over the summer. Parents have also commented that they love seeing all the activities we do in speech.
So, as I've been determined to try to make and design my materials, I put together a space themed beginning of the year packet. It includes covers, a reinforcement sticker chart, sample parent introduction letter, and a first day of speech "get to know you" activity.
I hope you find it helpful and maybe will make getting your school year started a little less stressful and a lot more fun! Particularly if you too have decided on a space themed speech room this year.
