This week ends with Halloween so we will be doing all things trick-or-treat in my preschool speech therapy room. Don't worry! If you have students who do not celebrate Halloween, I will have some options for you at the end of this post. With trick-or-treat comes a TON of social rules to work on.

Scarecrow Theme Preschool Activities for Speech Therapy
Now that school speech therapy includes both in person and virtual therapy scenarios, I have to plan a LOT more and move quickly between groups to set up a web cam or sanitize a table and chairs.
