Speech class

Gage started speech therapy and seems to really like his teacher, Rebecca. We are trying to get a jump start on these sounds before kindergarten -- when they start taking timed tests to identify letter sounds correctly (a not so lovely part of the "common core curriculum" that AL adopted).
This was his first class - all the others have been canceled for weather. He worked on the t, n, and d sounds...trying to keep his tongue behind his teeth when he says them. Rebecca calls it keeping your tongue behind the gate (aka, his teeth).  He was a great sport and they did a lot of giggling in there. Getting back to it tomorrow!
