PROGRAM SPOTLIGHT - SPEECH AND LANGUAGE!
Each week, we will be highlighting one of our programs or offering resources for parents to illustrate The Radcliffe Way!
One of the Speech and Language delivery models used at Radcliffe is providing therapy within the classroom setting. This model allows for direct instruction and modeling, as well as the opportunity for carry over of skills learned and practiced in a pull-out setting in authentic, academic situations. Students work on using their receptive and expressive language skills, for example understanding or formulating complex sentences, comparing and contrasting concepts, or summarizing information. They also receive guided practice utilizing auditory processing and memory strategies in the classroom during academic instruction.
Students learn the skills they are working on within the meaningful context of their real world. Radcliffe's speech-language pathologists collaborate with the academic teachers to co-teach lessons, or they guide students one-on-one in building and applying their speech-language skills during the academic lesson taught by the teacher. This collaboration is valuable to the student, the teacher, and the speech-language pathologist, as they all learn from each other!

AROUND THE CREEK
Mrs. Johnson's Kindergarten Discovery class created a collage of a frog's life cycle!
In Mrs. Usilton's Discovery class, Sarah and Riley work on a historical map to illustrate the growth of the United States.
Ms. Singer's Reading classes played a fun sight words version of Twister!
The Little Creek Four's class is learning all about dinosaurs! This is a footprint of a Tyrannosaurus Rex, three and a half feet long! Students found out that 25 of their shoes fit inside this footprint!
Zoe works on balance, visual skills, and coordination to pick up small pom poms with big spoons in each hand outside the OT room!
Mrs. Fish's Mindfulness class made breathing sticks using pipe cleaners and beads. Students practiced taking a slow breath in as they moved a bead from one end of the pipe cleaner to the other. On the exhale, they moved another bead. They then repeated this using all 12 beads, matching the breath to the movement of the bead.
Savvy enjoys a book in the Little Creek Toddler Room!
Mrs. Cohee-Wright, Mr. Joiner, and Mrs. Kurz spent Thursday morning in Annapolis at a Decoding Dyslexia Maryland event where Maryland educators met to talk about the state of dyslexia education in Maryland
