3rd Grade Music Open House

A Fun Day at the One Room School House

As Em's school year came to a close, Emma and her classmates spend the day the one room school house. 

They tried out many games like the hoop roll

and hop scotch

And the ring toss

Which Emma found a lot of fun

And then there were the stilts

Bean bag toss

What a great day!

STAR program Graduation

Emma and some of her classmates gave up their lunch hour to join the STAR (The Students Talking And Relating).  "The program utilizes peers to deliver instruction and intervention to students with Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD). The main goal  is to facilitate the development of communication, social skills, and independence of students with ASD by increasing their opportunities for social interaction with their typical peers." (See the Saline Patch article here)
