PHS Students Host Class Feast
Mrs. Stacy Kloeppel and one of her students came up with a plan to host a Christmas Feast between Mrs. Garlik, Mrs. Fakes, & Mrs. Sepe's classrooms. The purpose was to work on independent living skills & social skills. Independent living skills were addressed through students helping Mrs. Stacy prep the turkey, warm the sides provided by teachers, and prep the classroom to feast. The social skills were practiced around the table by focusing on manners and appropriate topics to discuss during a meal. Students also practiced social skills & communication by inviting Mrs. Ransom & Mrs. Kutz to enjoy the feast. After the meal was over, students helped clean dishes, wipe down tables, and put the classroom back to a learning environment! #MVNation
