Thanks to Oh, How Pintearesting for providing the Link Up
for May! Please go to her blog here
for the directions for this fun link up!
Buying: All about Moms this weekend! Need to get plants, not only for my front
yard, but for the moms in my life!
Hearting: I definitely have spring fever! It is so nice to have warm weather and more
daylight. Spending time outside with my
kids is so much more enjoyable than, let’s say, Annual Reviews, IEPs, and
writing reports! It seemed like this
winter was never going to end. It makes
me so happy to see flowers blooming and leaves on the trees. It is such a beautiful time of year, even
though my allergies have been out of control lately.
Sharing: Some Juniors and Seniors in the high school where I
work asked me to speak to them about becoming an SLP. That was so exciting. I had some brochures from ASHA that I had
ordered several years ago, so I was able to hand them out and then talk about
requirements for college and graduate school and about my experiences from
private practice, to a private special ed school, to working in a
district. It was fun, and it was nice to
meet with such a wonderful bunch of kids.
Making: To go with the plants, my kids are going to finish
making homemade cards for the grandmothers.
I always have a picture in my head, which of course, is never the same picture that my kids have in their heads.
I don’t mind (most of the time anyway, LOL), the cards will be cute no
matter what!
Happy Mother’s Day to all of the moms out there!
Happy Mother's Day to you! I love that you got to speak with high schoolers. Our job is SO great but not that many people know exactly what we do!
ReplyDeleteIt was fun, so happy it was not in front of a whole class though. One came to see me about setting it up, and then they came to me during lunch.
DeleteYou are not the only one with spring fever! We had our first ~80 degree day here in NY and the weather has been beautiful ever since.
ReplyDeleteI am in NY as well. I actually have the beginnings of a tan, saw a very faint line on my arms today... This weather puts me in a good mood!
DeleteI think spring fever has hit the nation! I love that you have students who are interested in the field! We have a HS student (a boy!) who spends a few mornings a week helping out in a preschool class because he wants to be either an SLP or ABA therapist working with kids who have autism! I love that HS kids are seeing this field as an option!
ReplyDeleteI hear ya on the allergies. I am so excited for the school year to end so I can spend more time with my daughter.
ReplyDeleteSpring fever is the BEST! I LOVE SPRING! It's my favorite time of year. :) So you talked with high schoolers about SLP? You are braver than I. I'm more of the PK age kind of girl. Did it look like any students were interested in what we do? Did they ask questions or just stare at you like you have two heads? I hope it was the former. Anyway, thanks for sharing. Loving reading all the link ups!
ReplyDeleteI sympathize with you enjoying spring and suffering from allergies! Thanks for linking up!
ReplyDeleteI am experiencing the same thing with allergies! I'm also having spring fever! I'm glad you got the opportunity to speak with prospective students!! How fun!
ReplyDeleteI bet you had a great time speaking about being an SLP! It's great to think that something you say can push someone to want to do what we do!
