|  Spotlight on
Mrs. Russo's Class
Mrs. Sharon Russo’s class at Washington Center has been studying two-dimensional and three -dimensional shapes. For the unit, the students have been meeting many SC Learning Standards by singing songs about the shape of the day, participating in art projects, counting cubes, and learning about road sign shapes. It has been a fun, educational unit for all.
Spotlight
on Washington Center  The school motto is “Those You Think Cannot …Can!”
Staff uses assistive technology and augmentative communication, multi-sensory rooms, and a
mobility program that allows students in wheelchairs to move about school while learning about their environment.
When you visit the school you see students learning to walk as they move up and
down the halls. Sometimes it appears that the halls have a “traffic jam” as
students stop to use their non-oral communication techniques as they greet each
other or a staff member by pointing to pictures or you may see them carrying
along a communication device mounted on a walker. Actually it is quite exciting
and fun as visitors tour our building. Each student has an Individual Education
Plan and is taught using modifications to the State Curriculum Standards. Students are evaluated on the SC-Alt (Alternate Assessment) as directed by the
"No Child Left Behind" mandate.
The mission of Washington Center is
to provide opportunities for students to explore and develop
potential for independent functioning and community involvement by
addressing students' individual needs and creating a partnership
with home, school, and community. |
