I am thrilled to announce that I will be joining Speechie Freebies. It is such a great resource for finding high quality, free speech and language resources. I’m even more excited to be able to collaborate with such a creative and talented group of Speech Language Pathogists. My husband can only listen to so much speech and language talk before he falls asleep.
I started cutting out pictures and making little scrapbooks when I was in junior high school. I still have a page that I designed with all three of my bus passes from junior high. I’m pretty sure there is a limited market for 20 year old + vintage bus passes. But maybe I can combine that with my As the World Turns scrapbook, I made with pictures from Soap Opera Digest and TV Guide.
The point (beside a historical review of my neediness) was that I’ve always loved being able to create and design. I love being able to make products that use a theme to motivate students OR that incorporate movement or visuals to teach a specific skill.
I know baseball season is almost over (and it pretty much IS over, if you live in my state.) But I loved the idea of using trading cards to to work on social skills and being able to remember information regarding other people.
I use trading cards in different ways. Sometimes I have each student fill out a trading card and we talk about what things we have in common for conversations. Sometimes I have all of the students fill out a card for one person-and that person fills out a card for themselves. The student who is able to remember the most items about a person wins.
