I am a Speech and Language Pathologist presently working at one elementary and one middle school in Huntington Beach, CA. I have been a Speech/Language Pathologist Consultant and as a Speech and Language Pathologist in public school districts in Michigan, Massachusetts and California for thirty years.We are also certainly dealing with the hot topic of Bullying in a positive school-wide manner. I purchased this fabulous Boat Full of Animal Games (pdf file) and shared it with my fellow SLPsl. The crux of Sally's short stories is to identify with positive characteristics of the animals and incorporate them into our daily life.Since children have a special connection with animals what a perfect way to embrace and teach these loving, positive and uplifting qualities.Here is how I use it...Each week one of the animal stories is read and a discussion ensues. When my intern, assistant or I see a student or hears of a student doing something positive, they will are given an die cut of the animal of the week with the words pre-printed "You've been caught doing the lovely quality of... _____________________________." Just a great way to encourage and reinforce positive human qualities.Thank you for your inspiration!
