Reduce stress and anxiety
Improve behavior and focus
Build social and emotional skills
Increase motivation and engagement
Promote empathy and kindness
We are very proud to partner with the Miami County Sherriff's Department to bring in Rip. We are so excited to see what kind of positive impact Rip will have on our students and classrooms!❤️🐶#WoofWoof #TherapyDog #MiamiCountyESC
Mrs. Prenger's class at Troy chose to make some yummy pumpkin bars last week. First, the students put together a grocery list and purchased their ingredients according to a recipe📋. They then worked with each other to properly follow the recipe in order to get their perfect snack. They not only got to enjoy themselves, but share with others as well! 😋 Nice work Mrs. Prenger incorporating real life skills and fun in the classroom! #BakeItUp🧁 #MiamiCountyESC
Mrs. Flory helps keep art fun and engaging at our Cooperative Learning Center! Her creative projects allow students to express themselves while building fine motor skills, imagination, and problem-solving abilities. Aside from nurturing creativity, art offers our students meaningful opportunities to develop social-emotional skills from managing frustration to celebrating success and collaborating with peers. Huge thanks to Mrs. Flory for providing this experience to our students💛🖌️#ArtTeaches #MiamiCountyESC
🔬Its been a science-heavy month in our ESC classrooms! This experiment comes from Mrs. Couser's class at Miami East. This month students have been learning about what it means to be a scientist, and Friday they were hands-on creating their own chemical reactions with baking soda and vinegar💥 Always fun to make a mess! #STEM #ESCLearning #MiamiCountyESC
By developing responsibility, attention to detail, and task completion skills, students are preparing for success in post-graduation vocational settings and greater independence in daily life. 💼👏

🏁🏎️ PRESCHOOL DERBY DAY🏎️ 🏁 Students in Mrs. Landis preschool class at Milton Union tore up some dirt this Wednesday. Class spent the day planning and crafting their own derby car. Afterwards, they took it outside to the racetrack in the woods and had a blast racing their friends. What a great way to keep learning fun and engaging!💚 #MiamiCountyESC #ESCPreschool
📖The "Story Lady" paid a visit to our Tipp City preschool class! Ms. Judy, whom the students refer to as "Story Lady" stopped by to lead an interactive lesson and teach them all about shapes🔵⬛🔺.

"Fun Friday" for Mrs. Naas' class looked awesome this week🔥. Class spent the day making 3-D pumpkin crafts and then enjoyed a monster teeth snack! #MiamiCountyESC #SnackTime
Students had fun with a yummy, hands-on activity that combined fine motor skills, healthy eating habits, sequencing, and language development. Learning is always more engaging (and delicious!) when students can create and explore at the same time! 👩🍳✨

🎃More pumpkins! Mrs. Petty and Mr. Hahn's class from Covington took a trip to Fulton Farms to get into Fall spirit. They enjoyed a hayride, picked some pumpkins, and played some farm basketball. Great day outside for the whole class, look at those smiles ☺️
Enjoying some sunshine before the winter months roll in! Mrs. O’Leary's class from Springcreek went on a field trip to Crossway Farms in Sidney. They spent time outside and then completed the day decorating their very own pumpkins back in class!
Our Director of Student Services, Bethany Whidden, and Related Services Supervisor, Heather Davey, attended the Ohio School Speech Pathology and Educational Audiology Coalition conference this week.
