Pen Pals Pt. 2
I'm so excited, annnnnnnnd I just can't hide it (sorry, I had to). I usually don't post 2x in one week, but this is quite the special occasion. I'm teaming up again with Kim from Activity Tailor to bring back the Pen Pal project!! We had SO many SLP's sign up last year, and it turned out to be a great success. I matched two of my students and they loved writing and recieveing letters form their friends in Illinois. I plan on trying it out with a few more kids because it was such a wonderful reading/writing activity for them. Not going to lie, I may have checked my mailbox at work everyday in anticipation. Many of you e-mailed me to ask when we'd start up again. Well, here's your chance!
Here’s how it works:
Fill out the matching form here
You will be providing your name and email address as well as the school/clinic address where letters will be mailed. The only student info we ask for is initials (simply for tracking), age and primary target skill. It is the responsibility of the child’s therapist to help maintain the student’s privacy in all communications!
If you would like to submit an entire group for matching, you can do that too! In this instance you will fill out the form as if the group is one individual/entity and, if at all possible, we will try to match you with another group. Note: If you have a group and want each member to have their own personal match, you will need to fill out a form for each child.
We will do our best to match ages, target skill areas and give you a pen pal that lives in a different geographic area than you do. We are currently expecting K-12 for matches, but you're welcome to apply your adult clients too!
Remember to please fill out a form for EACH student or group you would like matched and make every attempt you can to offer an even number of pen pals so we end up even in the end!
You have until October 16, 2015 to fill out the forms. Matches will be completed and sent to you by October 23, 2015.
Can't wait to get everyone matched up!
