A Visit to Tamassee-Salem Elementary

Yesterday I was able to observe a speech-language lesson at Tamassee-Salem Elementary. The speech room was well organized and visually appealing. The students entered the room excited and knew they were in for a fun lesson. The speech teacher had her materials ready and started by asking each student "What are you working on today". After each response the teacher reminded the student how to articulate their target sounds correctly and provided a model for correct production. The students took turns practicing their sounds while randomly drawing letters to try to spell the word "Clover" for St. Patrick's Day. The group had a lot of fun and I laughed out loud several times. This teacher made speech time engaging and enjoyable!
