In continuing with our celebration of #BetterSpeechandHearingMonth I asked some of my students a few questions about who I am, what I do, and why I do it. I documented some of my favorite responses to share with my fellow SLPs and educators!

Who am I?

• “Miss Macy?” - 3rd grader

  • Response: 🥳

• “My best friend” - preschooler

  • Response: 🥰

• “Uh, what you name?” - Kindergartener

  • Response: 🤦🏼‍♀️

What is my job?

• “A firefighter” - 1st grader

  • Response: 🤔 “What makes you think that?” “Well you look like one” 😑

• “My speech teacher” - 2nd grader

  • Response: 🙌🏼 “Thank goodness”

• “A dentist” - 2nd grader

  • Response: 🧐 “Why do you think I’m a dentist?” “Because you always teach me about my teeth and tongue” (honestly, pretty accurate! A+ for creativity) 🤷🏽‍♀️

What do we do when you come to speech?

• “Play games” - preschooler

• “Play games” - Kindergartener

• “Play games” - 1st grader

• “Play games” - 2nd grader

• “Play games” - 3rd grader

If you’re an SLP, I’m sure you resonate with these answers, but I would LOVE to hear what your students said about you!!
