Classroom Highlights✨

.
February Castle Time was all about trustworthiness! 🏰 Students worked through scenarios to decide if actions were trustworthy, created a chain of trustworthy choices, and finished with a blindfolded trust walk obstacle course in the gym. Great conversations and a lot of fun while learning an important life skill! 💛
.
Our “Staff Underground” dress-up days were a big hit! 🤫🎉 Students definitely started to notice all the matching outfits, style changes, and out-of-character looks around the building and were busy trying to figure out what was going on. Their hallway guesses and puzzled looks have made it even more fun. It has been a great way to add a little extra excitement to the week for everyone! 😄
