Welcome to my online classroom.

Dear Parents,

Your child has made awesome progress in speech this year!  I’ve enjoyed working with them and hope to see them soon!

I have composed an April speech and language calendar tailored to your child’s speech and language goals. Please work with your child on these activities to help them maintain their good speech skills during this time away from school.

I know that during these unprecedented times things are a bit crazy, but I encourage you to practice with your child a minimum of 3 times a week. Please have your child color or cross out the square for each day that they are able to practice. Your participation in these activities will greatly benefit your child and help to speed up the remediation process.

I am offering an incentive to your child to motivate them to participate in speech and language distance learning. If your child is able to complete the calendar (at least 3 days a week every week) they will be rewarded with a treat when we return to school. Please return the calendar (with the dates marked for each day they practiced) when we return to school, so that I will be able to see if they completed the speech and language assignments.  Below is a list of available online resources as well. If you have any questions, please feel free to email at amandabrodtman@opsb.net

Thanks for all you do!

Amanda Brodtman M.A., CCC-SLP
