Weather Themed Lesson Plans for Speech Therapy

Rain or shine, speech therapists carry on! My students love going up to my window and reporting on the weather like mini meteorologists! A weather theme has such rich vocabulary - if you haven't added this theme to your repertoire, look no further than this blog post for lots of book, craft, and activity ideas below! I teamed up with Elena from @ms.bslp on Instagram to make these fun Weather Themed Lessons Plans for Speech Therapy which I share to my page too.
