Ms. Clare and Ms. Kristen's classes met today for their buddy class activity! Ms. Clare's friends invited Ms. Kristen's friends to their classroom to learn all about Braille. Each student got to make a name tag with their name written in Braille so they could feel what it's like to read their name using their sense of touch. Our classes also got to explore different books with Braille and Braille learning tools.
Our Student Lighthouse Teams met today to pick themes for our upcoming Luaus. We also learned about Habit 7 and practiced so we can teach the new habit at the Leadership Luau next week.
Ms. Alyssa’s PM class met their goal of being ready to go home before the 5 minute timer ends. The class voted to celebrate with a donut party!
