Mrs. Athmer’s Speech Peeps

Speech and language is my jam! I spend my time communicating with the most amazing kids ever! My students make me smile, and we know how to have fun!!

She didn’t even realize we were focusing on following directions, creating sentences, and articulation. She just knew it was fun! #bellylaughsarethebest #speechandlanguage #NBExcellence #wesclinwarriors #learnthroughplay #playbasedtherapy

There’s no better way to spend a Thursday than with heart shaped cookies, sprinkles, and valentines! #WillYouBeMyValentine #nbe #wesclinwarriors

Only a speech therapist and some of her favorite friends could have this much fun with a giant mouth. 🤣 #sofuntobesilly #wesclinwarriors #nbe #SLPlife

I love our community! Just down the street, I got an amazing goat cheese salad from The Red Porch Cafe. So yummy!!!! Now it’s time to get back to playing (I mean working) with my kids! #grouplessonsaresomuchfun #progressnotesarenotasmuchfun #theredporchcafe #wesclinwarriors #nbe

I walked into my middle school office and was joyfully surprised with a finished bulletin board! Thanks so much Ms. Ronell and all your helpers! #nomoreuglygluedoverwindows #2020isgonnabegreat #2daysleftof2019schoolyear #wesclinwarriors #wms

Following directions is way more fun when candy and icing are involved! #sosticky #welovesocialgroup #wesclinwarriors #nbe

Having a {winter} blast finding matching holiday items and learning new vocabulary. #wesclinwarriors #myspeechpeeps #holidayfun #nooneknewwhatfruitcakewas 😁

Team work-y to make a turkey! It was a lot of fun watching these boys work together and problem solve over where each part should go, especially when one leg was the first roll and one wing was the second roll. 🤣😍 #wesclinwarriors #nbe #gobblegobble #teamwork

There’s always room on my broom for these kids! Thanks to all the #NBE teachers for letting me read to your classes! #myfavoritehalloweenbook #happyhalloween #wesclinwarriors #kidswonderedifmywandwasreallymagical

I get to work with the most amazing superheroes! #superheroday #nbe #speechismyjam #wesclinwarriors

[Mrs. Athmer’s Speech Peeps @AthmerCourtney]

Working on “wh” questions while pretending to be witches. What would you put in your cauldron? Who would you have on your broom? Where would you fly to? Some of my favorite answers include mint ice cream, Optimus Prime, and Disney World. 😁🥰 #wesclinwarriors #nbe #roomonthebroom

I feel like I just won the lottery! Well, I guess I did! I can’t thank NBE PTO enough for supporting all of us! My therapy game just went way up! #NBE #PTO #wesclinwarriors #ilovemyjob #fidgets #causeandeffectgames #imagination #sensoryfun #soexcited

I finished #nationaltalklikeapirateday with some more treasure hunting and having my high schoolers put themselves in a pirate’s shoes (answer questions from a pirate’s perspective). So much fun! #wesclinwarriors #nbe #whs #ineedapiratenap

[Mrs. Athmer’s Speech Peeps @AthmerCourtney]

The first half of my day had me and my kids walking the plank, digging for treasure, and sailing the seas. Excited to see what adventures come the rest of the day. #wesclinwarriors #nbe #TalkLikeAPirateDay #shivermetimbers

@Tucker9291 You’re so sweet! I absolutely love working with your little one! 😍

[Mrs. Athmer’s Speech Peeps @AthmerCourtney]

Ahoy Mateys!!! I look forward to this day every year! HAPPY National Talk Like a Pirate Day! So excited to celebrate with my land lubbers 😁
