Star of the Week: April 26-30

Our Star of the Week this week was Nicholas. He started off his Star Week by bringing a snack to share with us. We all enjoyed some delicious tortilla chips. He also had his mom come to school and have lunch with him. Finally, he chose to have Stuffed Animal Day. We will all bring our stuffed animals to school next Monday, May 3rd (to not conflict with Junior Achievement and Famous Missourians). Thanks for being a great Star of the Week, Nicholas!

Ability Awareness Day 2010

Ability Awareness Day 2010 on PhotoPeach

On Friday, January 22, our class participated in Ability Awareness Day. We spent the afternoon learning about people with all different abilities. We learned about ADD and ADHD, dyslexia, and cerebral palsy. We even got to "roll a mile on someone else's wheels" as we explored what it is like to be in a wheelchair. Students had opportunities to listen to speakers and ask important questions. It was a great learning experience for everyone!
