B-8: Ms. Thomas
Reading Time: 2 minutesWelcome to B-8! Students in our classroom are at the middle school level and work on daily lessons in a variety of individualized, small, and whole groups. Academics focus on math, language arts, social studies, science, and functional activities such as cooking, community outings, and activities of daily living. Students cook meals and snack weekly, focusing on working together as a group, following a recipe, measuring, and basic kitchen safety and hygiene skills. The classroom participates in community outings each week to a local grocery store to purchase items needed for cooking activities, as well as working on community skills, such as staying with the group. High student to staff ratios allow for lots of one to one attention throughout the day.
