Wildcat families!! Today was a BIG day!! We combined Guidance and PE, with the help of our Resource teacher. It was our Inclusion lesson from last week, which was postponed due to the snow day.
We learned about 3 different areas in which friends may need some help - physical, sensory, and cognitive. Mrs. Simmons shared a bit of her story and how her teachers and friends made sure she was included as a teen.
Our goal is that our little Wildcats will learn to see when others need help participating and then find ways to help them join!
Check out the pictures on Facebook, as well as the North Platte Telegraph and KNOP News 2!
Happy Wednesday!! Washington's Kindergartners had some practice with their Easter egg hunting skills last week! Take a peek!
