Spring Craftivity {Freebie!}

April 16, 2013

Here in Mrs. Allison’s room, my little chipmunks have “spring” on their mind and so does this lady! With the nice weather and beautiful flowers also comes busy bodies, bottoms that can’t sit, and hands that just can’t seem to keep to themselves! So…in order to keep their little hands busy, I created this free kite craftivity.

Since I own the Expanding Expression Tool, I had my kiddos use their kites to describe objects. If you do not currently own this amazing tool, I highly recommend it (please don’t attempt to make your own version).  
However, I made the download generic so that you could choose the skill you want to work on. The possibilities are endless: creating sentences (one word for each bow), prefixes (a word that starts with a certain prefix on each bow), word ladders, synonyms/antonyms, articulation sounds. Have fun!
In addition to the download, all you need is ribbon. 
To download, simply click HERE!
I’d love to see how you use them! Please send pictures for me to share of the ways you utilized them in therapy!

Come as you are. Leave encouraged.


I'd love for you to join my newsletter family so that I can start sending weekly encouragement as well as access to an entire library of free resources like this Student Self-Progress Report Sheet!

First day of year 11 for me!  This is one of my f First day of year 11 for me! 
This is one of my favorite verses and such a timely message for my students AND me! 
This year my husband and I made the decision to homeschool our first grader. I was NOT thinking I would ever be a "homeschool mama" and I'm still not sure how it will all get done with me working part-time but here I am, praying for strength, and patience, and energy, and discipline, and thinking, "perhaps this is the moment for which I have been created?" 🤗

So if this year is full of uncertainty for you as well, know that He’s ☝️got this and I'm praying for the both of us, that we would shine brightly, and make the most of EVERY moment. 💗
P.S. (Because I know I'll get comments, I work at a private christian school, so I'm totally allowed to put verses on my door!) 🙏🏻

This only happens once a year (and tomorrow August This only happens once a year (and tomorrow August 18th is it!) all my ALREADY DISCOUNTED BUNDLES are an additional 25% off when you use the code BTSBONUS20.

That means my newest Sound Hierarchy Curriculum, Leveled Intervention No Print, Phonological Awareness Articulation Bundle, Screening Toolkits bundle, and so many more are the lowest price you’ll ever see. 

Many, many hours of work are poured into these bundles, which is why they are only included in sales ONE day per year. I get these requests often so here it is as my little gift and way of saying "thank you!"

FREE CVC word list organized by sound in my Newsle FREE CVC word list organized by sound in my Newsletter library. 

It’s my go-to when starting out articulation therapy. Simple, one syllable words that students are able to sound out provide a framework for phonological awareness skills which studies say also help increase articulation skills. 👏

Lately I've been finding myself singing this verse Lately I've been finding myself singing this verse (thanks Kari Jobe 😀) over the people in my life. Did you know that includes you all? Praying for a successful start to your year, whatever that looks like, and for our students to feel safe, loved, valued, educated, respected, protected, cherished, and appreciated. May the Lord bless you as you do His work. ⁠
