SLP Talk with Desiree: Functional Storage in My Speech Room

I made a bit more progress on my speech room makeover today by repurposing a display for eyeglasses. I love that it rotates and provides functional decor for my room!

I switched out the existing display with white pegboard that I purchased at Home Depot. They cut it to the exact size that I needed. To go along with my rustic style, I used plastic flower pots from Home Depot that I glued twine onto. They were the perfect size for my needs. I attached chalkboard clothespins found at Michaels to label each flowerpot. That certainly wasn't necessary but having them match the style of my speech room just made me happy.

Prior to my current display, I have used book bins or the top drawer of a rolling storage cart to store Articulation and Language Sticks. Their durability and having multiple targets on each paint stirrer make them an easy resource for me to grab and go in a pinch.

Articulation Sticks are honestly a staple in my speech room. I love having over 1,000 stimulus words at my fingertips to target articulation while also introducing a variety of vocabulary concepts with picture supports. Working with a high risk, low socioeconomic and high ELL population, it is important that I maximize our activities to close that gap.

Language sticks allow me to further differentiate student needs within mixed groups. Currently displayed are Category Sticks and Describing Sticks. I am updating my Grammar Sticks so I can share them with you and add an updated version to my collection. If you are interested in learning more about how I use the sticks, you can check out the links below.

What tips do you have for organizing materials using functional decor in your classroom? I would love to hear!

While most wet storage marinas don't offer covered storage for your boat, there are some, which in all actuality do offer this choice for more modest boats.

If you happen to don’t contain any very important oils currently in the house then you might use grounded coffee beans around tea-lights, they may absorb stinky odours. On the contrary, keep your bathrooms fresh as a result of dropping just a few droplets in essential oils with the toilet pieces of paper cardboard. maid services dubai
