  • GENERAL EDUCATION TEACHERS:

  • SPEECH LANGUAGE PATHOLOGISTS:
    • Teddy Bears Around The World
      • This blog provides the space to hang out and communicate with different teddy bears around the world to hear more about their lives and adventures. This will allow our students to see each other’s countries, customs and traditions through the eyes of our “teddy bears” and open their horizons through a more global perspective.
      • The idea is to have an ongoing exchange (no deadlines, no pressure) to contribute stories, photographs, videos or podcasts.
