Happy Fourth of July!

Happy Birthday 'Merica! 

I saw these hand print table pieces and used the idea to make a flag craft. Work on colors, following directions, concepts (long/short) and action words while you make this adorable flag!

They were adorable!

We also made some fireworks! Megan had the idea of making fireworks and Emily cut straws at the end. We dipped into glue and made fireworks on paper. Lots of glitter was added!

To make the straws, just take scissors and cute the straw about 2 or 3 inches high into 6 different pieces. The straw should look kind of like a flower at the end when you're done cutting.

Of course we did lots of other learning with my freebie downloads too! Did you do anything fun to celebrate American's birthday this week?

Down By the Bay Crafts

If you saw my post last week, you know we were doing all kinds of wonderful watermelon activities in my summer literacy group. We finished out the week with some super cute Watermelon Crafts and activities that my friend Meghan created.  Here's a peek at our Down By the Bay Crafts!

Did you get a chance to grab my Watermelon syllable segmenting activity? If not go grab it over at this post!

St. Patrick's Day Craft

Are you having tons of fun with St. Patrick's Day this week? I think the SLP bloggers have outdone themselves! My Pinterest boards are overflowing with St. Patrick's Day materials! I saw my friend Kaitlyn Stevenson this week. Kait is an SLP in northern Ohio.  Check out this cute craft she did with her kids!

She had her students make a pot of gold with their speech words! I love that they picked a word in the initial, medial and final positions.

This is her hallway! I think they turned out so cute and when she put them all together they look even better! You rock Kait! Thanks for sharing!
