Mrs. Murdock's third graders reviewed for their economics assessment today in small groups. If their group answered a question correctly, they were able to roll a set of double dice, and code one of Mrs. Dugger's new robots to move that many spaces around the track. They had to make sure the robot turned when he was supposed to and moved forward just enough spaces to not go off the track. What a fun way to review!

Meet our Yowell Speech-Language Pathologists (SLPs)-Dr. Capellini and Ms. Musso (soon to be Mrs. Ruffner after October 5th!) Our SLPs work with students (ages 2-post high) with difficulties in speaking due to articulation (speech sounds), language (how they use and understand their language), pragmatics (social use of language), fluency (stuttering), and voice (tone, pitch, and volume of your voice) that negatively impact a child’s ability to communicate in the school setting. Nearly 1 in 12 U.S. children ages 3-17 have a disorder related to speech and language. Dr. Capellini and Ms. Musso are currently screening all new to county students (PreK, K, and transfer students) for hearing, speech, language, fluency, and voice disorders. If you have a concern about your child, please reach out to the school (540-825-9484) and ask to speak to Cara Capellini.
