   Hi all – It is already October!! Below is your October ULS Supplement.  Don't forget - if you CORE things in a different way - please upload them - it is always good to have options!  The theme this month is Movement!  Check out the Active Learning suggestions and CORE words taken from the curriculum this month.  If you have other Active Learning ideas - please add! We are still adding some materials so make sure you check back periodically because your colleagues might have added something good.   If you CORE any of the Supplemental Activities or Science and Cooking - please share!!  I added a few things from this unit 3 years ago that are different.  Below are the links for the folder and supplements.  As always - please include your ideas and materials so others can use.  If you have any questions - please contact Corinne or I.  Folder https://drive.google.com/open?id=1FvruXJLPTn0hhQ-DEMKm4x2wYswW36_9 Combined Supple...

 Hi all! Hope everyone had a wonderful weekend. We have made the Social Thinking Webinars: 10 Core Concepts available again this year for SEL credit. This year we have set it up so that each webinar earns 1 hour of SEL credit (or other nonduty credit if you have already earned your SEL credit). The webinars and related reflection tasks are linked in Schoology. If you would like to participate, please sign up in True North Logic: - Mandy

 Hi SLPs! We have a campus missing their CELF-5 Examiners Manual. Would you mind checking your speech materials to see if you happen to have an extra laying around? If you do, please email me ASAP! Thanks, Alex Wilks

 Hello SLPs! I'm so excited to share with you a new FREE online rating profile for pragmatic language developed by Dr. Lavi, the creator of the video based Clinical Assessment of Pragmatics (CAPS). EDIT: THE IMPACT IS ONLY FREE UNTIL FRIDAY 9/18 I've added a folder called "IMPACT" to the SLP Google Drive in the Evaluation folder. Within that folder is a slide presentation (please don't edit, make a copy for yourself), a brief training video (about 16 minutes) and a shell to use the IMPACT. The rating scale itself can be accessed online here .  I also mention in the video some caution for ELL students. Dr. Lavi responded to me shortly after I was finished creating the training video, so I've added her response into the slide deck. Please let me know if you have any questions or concerns about this new tool! I'm in the process of utilizing it on a few cases myself! Hope you are all well! -Sara W.

 You may have seen it already - but if not - when you go to share your screen in ZOOM - there is an option to share your iPad!  You will have to install a plug in but it does it for you right there!  Check it out!  :)  Play with it prior to a session because it may not work the first time!  AT Team Tina Lombardi Corinne Le

 Hi Everyone! The Lavi Institute (publisher of the CAPS pragmatic language evaluation) have an online curriculum similar (but not as extensive) to Everyday Speech.  VideoLearningSquad.com is currently FREE (until September 15th), and after that they offer a 30 day free trial. - Mandy

 Hey everyone! Just wanted to share that today Tongue In Cheek Ice Cream in Richardson is offering a free scoop of their delicious ice cream to "Principals, 3rd, 4th, 5th, and 6th grade teachers, school SLP/OT/PTs, and school IT staff!" Go get yourself a treat after work! -Lori (MHE)

 Hi everyone! I just came across a tutorial on how to prepare a clear mask to be anti-fog! It's pretty simple! I've linked it here . Also, if you're a sewer, I found this clear mask tutorial on Youtube and while the fit isn't perfect, it's not bad! I find it to be somewhat snug, but everyone's face shape is different. I'm sure the pattern could be tweaked slightly, if needed. In this picture, I'm using toothpaste (applied similarly to the method linked above) to prevent fog. It's still a tiny bit cloudy, but I found that it works for about 30 minutes or so.  I hope everyone is doing well! - Sara Wilkerson
