Teachers are Heroes TpT SALE!! What’s in Your Cart? {Linky Party}

WhatsInYourCartLinkyHeroSale

TpT is holding a site wide sale on Wednesday, February 25th!  I love the theme of this sale: “Teachers Are Heroes.”  What a wonderful message and a lovely way to recognize and celebrate educators!  You can enter promo code : HEROES at check out for an additional 10% off, however my store will also be marked down an additional 20%.   Speech Room News has a linky party going on!  Check out all the products SLP’s are adding to their carts, as well as some suggestions from our own stores.

First, here are my suggestions for some SPRING-themed products.  That’s right, I’m thinking warm thoughts and hoping spring gets here soon!  I have a variety of  spring-themed products in my store and decided to bundle them ALL!  So if you want to get the most bang for your buck , consider purchasing one of these spring bundles during the sale:

Spring Language Bundle for Older Students

My Spring Language Bundle for Older Students covers all your spring-themed language needs! Your older students deserve some fun and challenging new materials and so do you!

Here is what you will find in this bundle:

Earn Some Green: Help your students identify and define figurative language concepts with this fun St. Patty’s themed packet. Packet includes “leprechaun loot” which students earn when they have responded to one of the figurative language cards (idioms, similes or metaphors.)

Language Advisor: This very unique product will have you traveling through the Emerald Isle as you learn about several cities in Ireland. Build vocabulary, listening and comprehension skills with this packet.

Scrambled Eggs:It includes categorization, figurative and humorous language activities. Challenge your students word retrieval and higher level thinking skills with this activity.

Magic Squares Spring Vocabulary:
Looking for a fun way to practice vocabulary that will also work the mathematical side of your brain? Give MAGIC SQUARES a try!!
SIX Magic Squares with NINE vocabulary words per game for: St. Patrick’s Day vocabulary, weather words, basketball terms (March Madness College b-ball!!), color related words, “Spring changes” terms and flower related terms.

Spring Language Bundle {Elementary level}

My Spring Language bundle {elementary age} was created with your younger students in mind.

Here is what you will find in this bundle:

O.M.G. (Oh My Greenness!) : This fun language game contains a collection of “green things” that can be used in several ways: for Receptive, expressive language building, barrier games, categorizing/classifying. A versatile way to use a collection of visuals!

Swing Into Spring Rhyme Time!: Brian the Lion and Pam the Lamb welcome in March with an activity that will help improve rhyming skills, phonological awareness and listening skills. Many of the words are “March” and “Spring” themed.

Rhyme Define Recycle–a book companion for Michael Recycle:This activity was inspired by the book Michael Recycle by Ellie Bethel. This is a book companion activity for use with this story!

 

And here is what I’m adding to my cart from some other fabulous TpT stores:

I’m always looking for ways to keep my middle/high school kids engaged and motivated.  These riddles for teens from Teachers Resource Force will be great to use as warm-ups or end of session fillers.  They will challenge my students to work on those all important inferential, critical thinking and reasoning skills

99 Bell Ringers / Lesson Starters - Riddles for Teens!

 

If there’s a food-theme involved, you know I’m interested!  Speech2U has a product that addressees several language goals  (sequencing, verb tense, comprehension) with a pizza theme.  Pizza-rific looks terrific and it’s definitely going into my shopping cart!

Pizza-riffic: Functional language, Sequencing, Verb tense,

If you have students that need to improve their perspective taking on big vs. little problems as well as how to solve conflicts, Miss V’s Speech World created something that fits the bill.  This problem solving pack will be a nice addition to my other social thinking materials.  I have several students who will benefit from this product.

Problem-Solving Pack - Unit on little-medium-big problems

I am always looking for more materials to address tier 2 vocabulary with my older students.  I recently stumbled upon a new TpT store: BB’s SLP. She has Tier 2 Vocabulary Activity Kits for several grade levels.  I think the 7th grade vocabulary will serve my middle and high school students vocabulary needs, however I may be purchasing some of her other grade level vocabulary kits as well.

7th Grade Tier 2 Vocabulary Activity Kit

There are so many great products waiting to be purchased.  Don’t forget to visit the linky party and see some of the other great suggestions.   Remember teachers (and SLP’s!!),  we are heroes to so many children.  Keep inspiring, motivating and making a difference!

👋 Just stopping in to welcome some new followers a 👋 Just stopping in to welcome some new followers and share a little bit about  my other account...The Kidz Kitchen @thekidzkitchenofnj , with you. 

The Kidz Kitchen is a unique, hands-on cooking program where kids come together to cook, create, communicate, and collaborate in every class. 🍎👩‍🍳✨

The Kidz Kitchen is more than just a place to learn how to make delicious recipes — it’s the heart and soul of my journey as both a speech-language pathologist and a passionate home cook and baker. 💬🥣 

For years, I created themed snack activities during my speech and language sessions to make learning fun and engaging. What began on my blog, Cooking Up Good Speech and Language (www.speechsnacks.com), has grown into a dynamic, in-person experience where those same ideas have come to life!

Each Kidz Kitchen class blends language development with culinary creativity. We focus on building essential communication skills — like following directions, using rich vocabulary, staying organized, and working as a team — all while making fun and tasty dishes together. It's learning that sticks… and tastes good too! 🌟

Check out this creative display outside her speech room where students can cast their vote on whether statements are facts or opinions using our Fact/Opinion cards. 🎉 What an engaging and interactive way to boost awareness of speech, language, and hearing while also teaching a valuable critical thinking skill!

Looking for a fun and meaningful way to celebrate this month in your school? Head over to my TpT store to grab this resource—it’s packed with activities to promote National Speech-Language-Hearing Month in a way your students will love! 💙

Flashback to Day One in The Kidz Kitchen! It’s ha Flashback to Day One in The Kidz Kitchen!

It’s hard to believe that just a year ago, we opened our doors for the very first time, welcoming young chefs into our kitchen. In just two weeks, we’ll kick off YEAR TWO with our Spring session, and we couldn’t be more excited!

Swipe through these photos from our very first day—featuring Chef Rose (owner),
our amazing assistant chefs Marie and Allie, and our very first morning and afternoon classes of junior chefs! We’ve come so far since that day, learning, growing, and teaching countless kids the joy of cooking.

We’ve learned SO MUCH, grown as a team, and taught so many amazing kids the joy of cooking. From mastering kitchen skills to building confidence and friendships, this journey has been incredible.

We can’t wait to welcome back our returning junior chefs and meet a whole new group of future foodies. The countdown to March 15th is ON—let’s get ready to cook, create, communicate and collaborate!

I’m so proud to share my story in this publication and hope it inspires others to follow their dreams too.

When pop culture meets communication science----I'm geeking out on this study from The Journal of the Acoustical Society of America. Researchers recently analyzed years of Taylor Swift interviews to study how dialects and vocal patterns evolve. Their findings show that not only has her dialect shifted over time, but her speaking voice register has also changed. This research highlights how speech is dynamic and influenced by social, cultural, and personal factors—offering fascinating insight into the evolution of language and communication.
