Mrs. Williams's class has settled nicely into their school routines. They enjoyed interacting during playtime with one another. During September, they have been reading books about apples including Apple Farmer Annie and The Apple Pie Tree book. They also enjoyed sensory activities including playing in shaving cream and painting with apples. They are having a blast!
The students in Ms. Benton's class celebrated Deaf Awareness Month by making ASL cookies! The students used adapted switches and cooking supplies to mix the ingredients, and they used a cookie cutter in the shape of the "I Love You" sign to cut out the cookies before putting them in the oven. The students enjoyed sharing the treats with friends in their hallway!
