Extended School Year , we were fortunate enough to take the students on a few outings in our area ! The trips we took to Grandpa Joe ’ s , therapeutic horseback riding , and Mingo Creek Park were all great learning experiences for the students . Students were able to have fun while applying what we learned in the classroom to a real world experience !”

We went to Shop n Save to purchase ingredients to make brunch and two other recipes ( Fruit Boats and Turkey Clubs ), made ice cream in a shake bag , did a Zoo in the Classroom field trip with Mrs .

We also invited the families to the cafeteria for an ice cream social on the last day . A LOT !”
