It is Pumpkin Patch time! Every year, as a family, we plan trips to an apple orchard and a pumpkin patch. Unfortunately, not all of our students have this opportunity with their own families and for a variety of reasons. That is why I love bringing in the theme of pumpkins and pumpkin patches into our speech room to provide exposure to new experiences.
