Aspen Elementary School

The school year is already zooming by, it's already November! I have been busy meeting with students, screening students, testing, and contacting parents to update skills as much as possible. I always welcome your calls if I don't get to you first. Many of my fourth grade students are learning and using their language skills within the classroom. I am enjoying going into their classrooms and working together with their teachers. I will also be in the third grade classroom to continue our "power up" vocabulary lessons which coordinates with the writing initiative to improve "word choice." How fun it is for me to use what we learn in the speech and language room with the entire class, coordinated with curriculum lessons.

November conferences will be here soon. I will be asking the classroom teachers for your conference time to review our speech and language progress together. Evening conferences are always popular and many of my conferences will overlap. I will call each one of you if I cannot meet with you and your classroom teacher at your requested time. Please call me if you prefer an individual conference. I am always available to meet with you.

We are off to a great start in the Speech and Language Program. All students have been scheduled and we are now making any necessary changes. The students will have days and times posted in their lockers or on their desks. I will be contacting all the parents of the students that I see this week. Please always feel free to contact me at anytime.

I am meeting with teachers to discuss specific educational needs. We certainly will make it a rewarding and successful year for everyone!
