Highlight from the classroom
The students are excited – the KSSB campus swimming pool is OPEN!. This fall, music therapy joins in the swimming action with the APE teacher. Some students spend time learning to float to the tune of “Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star.” The use of a familiar song helped some students relax, increasing success floating in the water. The short, familiar song provides a timeframe for the start and end of the floating activity. As the music begins, the instructor supports the student. Support is removed for the last second or two as the song nears its end. Floating is a success – one second at a time. Image: Student in floating in the pool, while the teacher supports by gently keeping chin facing upward.
Highlight from the Extended Day Program
Students hit the ground running with after school track practice, clubs, daily chores, homework, nightly activities, and have just started a segment on personal hygiene. The boys and the girls kicked off the Personal Hygiene group with grooming tips, discussing areas that they would like to learn more about, challenges they face, and received nail care items for their personal use. All of them are asking when the next group will be! Image: A line of students, wearing masks, at the starting line of the KSSB track, eagerly waiting for the sound to blast off.
