Mrs. Embry's class at Milton Union opened their monthly Coffee Shop operated by the students! First they practiced their literary skills by reading, crafting, and sorting orders according to the customers preferences. Then, they utilized their vocational and communication skills to greet each customer as they stopped by to pick up their order! What an awesome way to blend real-life experiences and classroom learning! ⭐ #CoffeeTime #CoffeeShop #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

"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 ☺️
