Dear parents,
I want to take this opportunity to introduce myself to you. My name is Ms. Castelluzzo and I am the WOES speech/language pathologist. Many students call me, Ms.'C'. If you are new to WOES, WELCOME! To my returning families, I am very excited to have your daughter/son again this year! As my returning parents are aware my program is thematically based and I incorporate many computer software programs, hands on activities, and pre-literacy & literacy experiences. Students not only enjoy these techniques but it provides an opportunity to engage their many different learning styles.As part of my therapy program your son/daughter will have a "SPEECH FOLDER" that will come home with a homework log and any other communications that need to be seen by parents. PLEASE CHECK THIS FOLDER AFTER EACH THERAPY SESSION AND RETURN IT FOR THE NEXT SCHEDULED THERAPY SESSION. In addition, there will be monthly theme based enrichment activities for you to engage your child in a variety of educational interests. For the younger children a monthly enrichment calendar will be included in the folder which will give you daily ideas for fun fulled pre-literacy and language learning opportunities. I am including free web links to early childhood educational sites and reading web sites.If you have any questions please use your child's communication log to send me a note or use my email address above to contact me. I am looking forward to an exciting year at WOES!Ms. Castelluzzo, M. Ed. /SLP'The web site links below are free. 'Starfall' is an excellent reading program. It offers countless opportunities to practice reading skills as well as offering print outs upon the completion of various activities as well as helpful suggestions to parents. To gain the best benefit from 'Starfall' I suggest you use it w/ your child vs. independant use. I have used it in therapy and this appears to offer students the most success.
'Preschool Express' is my source for my monthly pre-k & K activities calendar. It contains dozens of stimulating activities targeting monthly themes and a specific parent section. There will be additional links added, be sure to check back often! Enjoy!
