Hi everyone,
I hope you are off to a great start in 2021!
Please join me in the following recorded Speech lesson.
Have your Core communication boards ready, as we practice responding to yes/no questions and focus on our Core word of the month "like". If you have a communication switch at home, that will be helpful for this lesson too!
In this lesson, we will read the book "The Runaway Garden". It is a fun story that shares what happens on the night the vegetables all leave the garden. We will also take some time to sort some vegetables and fruits. Attached you will find a fun way to share more about your favorite fruits and vegetables. I hope you make time to join me!
Missing you all,
Jennifer
