Fun! :) I try to make my speech sessions both productive and fun for me and my students. I tend to use a lot of drill work with articulation, and I'm not very crafty at all so our cutesy-time is limited. I've never outgrown cartoons and video games, and my boyfriend keeps me up to date on what's popular, so I like to use those as motivational topics whenever possible.
I am the girlfriend of a very patient, loving, supportive, and understanding man who critiques my uploads and tolerates my endless complaints about paperwork! His artistic eye (this is where he'd say "I have 2") helps me to fine-tune many aspects of my work. His ability to keep his inner child as a key part of himself always helps me to see things through my students' eyes, and bring their interests into my classroom! :)
