Two Facts and a Fib Blog Hop!

 

2 facts and fib 1

I’m keeping this blog post brief because I am at the airport awaiting  my flight to France.   I will be serving as the private SLP to Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt’s youngest children for the next few months at their home in Chateau Miraval in Southern France!  April Fool’s!!!!!!!   (Talk about the ultimate dream job! )  I love that we have this fun day in our calendar for saying something truly outrageous and getting a reaction from others!   My speechie friends Erik Raj and Jennifer Gibbs-Moses (SLPrunner) had a few fun April Fool’s Day ideas that you can try with your students. Check out their very entertaining blog posts!

A few of us SLPs joined up and decided to celebrate April Fool’s all week long with our “Two Facts and a Fib” blog hop!  The  rules are simple:  Read all three of my statements below and decide which two are the “facts” and which one is the “fib.”  Record your “fib” responses as you hop from one blog to the next (you can also download and print out this black and white answer sheet created by Speech2U here!!    The person with the most correct responses will have the opportunity to win a $50 Amazon gift card!  In the event of a tie, random.org will be used for the tie breaker.  Want to take the on line quiz?   You can find it over at Speech Universe, the last stop of the hop!

So here are my three statements:

a)  I gave birth to an 11 lb. baby.

b) I made the Division I lacrosse team when I was in college even though I had never played the sport before.

c)  I quit smoking “cold turkey” 10 years ago.

Can you guess which answer is my fib?     When you are finished, head over to the next blog on the hop, Consonantly Speaking, to see what facts and fib she is sharing!  Good luck!

To start at the beginning go to Speech2U (Special thanks to Kelly at Speech2U who had the fun and creative idea for this blog hop!)   Hope you have fun guessing our fibs!

      Patti—-Thanks for visiting my blog and responding to the blog hop quiz. In case you were unsure, you need to respond to all the blogger’s facts/fibs and then submit your responses on the last blog in the hop. I can’t give you credit for responding in my comment section. There is a map at the end of the post that you can follow to visit all the sites. Good luck!

👋 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!
Feeling incredibly honored to have written a piece Feeling incredibly honored to have written a piece for The ASHA Leader, the national magazine published by the American Speech-Language-Hearing Association about my business, @thekidzkitchenofnj

As a speech pathologist with years of experience, bringing my passion for cooking and communication together through The Kidz Kitchen has been a dream come true. 🌟

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.
