Peek At Speech Is Going Green!!

 

This year, in an effort to save paper, my weekly Peek at Speech will be posted every Friday on my blog.  Every Peek at Speech will provide an overview of our book for the week and what we have practiced together during therapy time.  In addition, it will have speech and language enhancing ideas, activity suggestions, or website links for you to practice your child's skills at home.  Practice is critical to the carryover of skills from the therapy room to your home and the classroom, and I hope the ideas provided will help you feel confident in your ability to make a difference in your child's speech/language skills.  

Thank you for all you do!

Welcome Back To Preschool Speech!!!

Dear Parents and Students,

Hello!!!  Welcome to Russell and the Preschool Speech and Language Program!  For those of you new to the program, my name is Sarah Beckman, and I am the Preschool Speech and Language Pathologist.  I just wanted to take this opportunity to introduce myself and let you know a little about me.

This is my sixth year as the Preschool Speech Pathologist at Russell.  I graduated with my Master’s degree from Valdosta State University, and I received my undergraduate degree from the University of Georgia.  I am a diehard Bulldog fan, and I love spending my fall Saturday afternoons watching my alma mater play football.  I have an amazing husband, Aaron, and two fur babies, Indie (dog) and Gavin (cat).  I was born and raised in Powder Springs, GA and attended Cobb County Public Schools throughout my educational career, thus this area and its schools are near and dear to my heart.

I love working with preschool aged children, and I am thoroughly excited about working with both my students and their families throughout this school year.  I know it is going to be a great year of learning and growing for all of us.  Thank you for the opportunity to work with your little ones.  Please do not hesitate to contact me with any questions or concerns at [email protected].

I look forward to working together!
