Kamusta! That is "How are you?" in Tagalog (Pilipino)
I welcome you to my virtual classroom. Here you will see glimpses of my High School classroom for students with severe disabilities. I hope this "corner of cyberspace" will assist parents, students, and peers during the transistion from middle school to high school. I will also give you a "sneak peek" of what the adult program and beyond may look like.
My goal is to assist our students to gain independence (at whatever level is appropriate for them, a sense of belonging in our community, and the ability to advocate for themselves.
Our Classroom
Special Day Classroom for high school students with Severe Disabilities. Our focus is in creating a safe learning environment where our students can explore vocational opportunities, as well as master functional academics for their future success & independence as young adults.
Classroom Kitchen
Our students learn food preparation skills. From basic hygiene to planning a Thanksgiving Feast, our students take an active role in all aspects no matter what there ability level is. The magic of cooking is the ability to combine math (budgeting, measurements), reading (finding recipes & following directions), writing (creating shopping lists), and health (hygiene & sanitation) into an arena our students can understand, manipulate, and excel in.
