Sorry I’ve been a little MIA lately. It’s spring…which means SHOWER planning time! One thing you should know about me is that I have become the QUEEN of showers and parties. I usually plan at least 5 a year, and of course all around the same time. I actually have 3 scheduled for this May. What can I say? All my friends love to get married and have babies haha.
Of course, May is also Better Hearing and Speech Month! I thought I’d share a few activities that I’m doing at my school. Have a looksy!

First, I created a little “Did you know” wall in the main entryway at school, since I didn’t have much bulletin board space to work with. I just printed out some interesting stats and cutesied them up, then attached them to the wall with teacher tape.
Next, I made several bookmarks that include tips for teachers on articulation, language, fluency, and hearing loss. I plopped these in the teacher’s lounge free for the taking!
You can make some of your own too! Just download this printable freebie HERE, punch a hole in the top, and attach ribbon or yarn. I had a lot of yarn on hand, so I just used that.
Lastly, I found some oh-so-fabulous free printables from Heather’s Speech Therapy. You should totally head over to her blog and check them out. So fun!
I attached her vocal hygiene printables to tiny water bottles and will put them in the teacher’s boxes for a little treat.
I also printed the noise-induced hearing loss printable to little baggies of ear-plugs to put in the their boxes for next week.
I hope my teachers like some of these fun tips! Anyway, what do you think? How are y’all celebrating Better Hearing and Speech Month??

Hi Lauren,
I LOVE your websites and as a new SLP could not have made it through my first year without it! I love the bookmarks you made for BSHM and thought they would be a neat back to school treat for the teacher at my school. Is it possible to get them without the “BSHM” references? I am happy to pay for them. Thanks! Kim Jerrehian,Palmyra, PA
