Need a fun end of the school year (or summer) snac

Need a fun end of the school year (or summer) snack activity? Here’s one of my all- time favorites! These teddy bears are kicking off summer with a day at the beach!

All you need are:
🏖 Teddy grahams
🏖 Fruit roll ups (cut in tiny beach towel sizes)
🏖 Gummy Lifesaver
🏖 icing from a can tinted with blue food coloring
🏖 a plain cookie (I use sugar cookies)

TARGET following directions;
🔵What to get first, next, last
🔵 how many teddy grahams to take
🔵 location where students should to put each Item (put icing on HALF of the cookie, put 1 teddy IN the gummy float on top of the icing, put one teddy lying ON (or on top of) the “beach towel”

TARGET colors/numbers/quantity (more, fewer, none, some, all, less, most, etc.)
🔵 Target colors if your gummies and fruit roll ups are different colors!
🔵 Let students drop X number of drops to the icing and stir X number of times

TARGET answering Wh- questions:
🔵 When do we go to the beach?
🔵 Why do we use a float?
🔵 Where can we swim?
🔵 Why do people like the beach?
🔵 What would you wear to the beach?
🔵 Why shouldn’t the teddy just lay on the sand instead of the towel?
🔵 What else can we use a towel for?
🔵 What could you see at the beach?

TARGET describing by bringing shells, sand, a beach ball, sunglasses, sunscreen, and even a float of some kind etc. to the lesson! So many kids don’t get to interact with those items. 💙

Last but not least, describe all the different tastes!

Don’t You just love a good multisensory #speechsnack?

So this exciting thing happened today!!! Riley, my youngest son, got his MS in Communication Sciences and Disorders from Southeastern Louisiana University.

Riley’s one step closer to becoming a CCC-SLP! As per usual, grad school was brutal but he finished with an amazing GPA, and of course, we are beyond proud of him and his hard work. 👏👏👏

Since he is all too familiar with the #schoolslp life (and summed up his schools practicum with these words: “That’s too much commotion,” he’s hoping to work as a #medslp he loves working with the geriatric population. ❤️

My boys. 💙💙 My hearts. My oldest, Ferris, made me a mom at 17 and I’d do it all over again in a heartbeat.

They spent the day spoiling me (which they learned from my husband/their dad) and shucked 50 oysters they had overnighted from New England. I’m so proud and blessed to be their momma.

I hope you felt the love today, too. #mothersday #boymom

More of the same lip service with zero intent to take action on behalf of almost HALF of certified SLPs (who are begging for advocacy) - yet again. 🤦‍♀️

Also, is it REALLY A CHAT if the chat is disabled? 🤔

Scroll through if you want to know what the outcome was, but I’m guessing you already know.

Btw, telling school SLPs to advocate for themselves (with admin, unions, etc.) isn’t a novel idea. It’s what we’ve been doing tirelessly for DECADES with little to no success, @ashaweb. That’s why we need YOU to advocate on our behalf.

Stop passing the buck and saying you “can’t” like you did tonight, because you COULD. You choose not to.

Read it. Save it. Share it with another SLP who needs this reminder. 💛 Print it, and read it daily.

Being an SLP can be a tough gig (that’s putting it mildly), and this time of year often comes with NEXT LEVEL STRESS. 😣

That why I don’t ever want you to forget how WILDLY capable and skilled you are + don’t ever lose sight of the gargantuan impacts you make on the lives of individuals and families!

🙌 Shock and awe…the whole world should be in shock and awe by the science wielding, data taking, AAC modeling, kid motivating, assessment giving, language developing, speech molding, RTI providing, EBP quoting, IEP writing, hoop jumping, team collaborating, parent training, life improving, communication facilitating, feelings validating, disability awareness promoting, ever-advocating, treatment researching, com(passionate), brilliant, and hard working health professionals you are! 🫶

Just think what mountains you could move with a caseload cap!!! (👀Looking at you @ashaweb)
