Would you like to know what we do in
Speech Class?

Imagine that you're a ladybug sitting on a bookcase:

You would see children coming to work on
speaking skills, listening skills, and thinking skills.  
The children could be in kindergarten or in fifth grade,
but they come in small groups that are all
in the same grade.  Most often they stay about
30 minutes,  and then they return to class.

You would hear children practicing sounds
that are hard for them to say. 
You might hear children answering questions. 
You would definitely hear children asking
questions! 
You would hear children laughing, because
it's fun to think, and play games, and learn.

You would feel the bookcase vibrate, just a little,
as the children hurry-in to sit in their favorite chair,
or jump up to go stand on a "drama square",
or crowd around the mirror so they can
watch themselves perform a new skill.

SPEECH CLASS =
Talking,
Listening,
Understanding!
