We have been targeting core word vocabulary and learning all sorts of signs, such as close, feel, off, and finish. We practiced "closing" the cabinet door, turning the sink "off", signing that music therapy is "finished" and expressing the different emotions we feel!

Ms. Leah’s Upper Collaborative Class loves being out in the community. In class, we drew names of friends to shop for, then went out to buy their gifts. We ended the day with “brunch” at IHOP. It’s always one of our favorite outings of the year!
