🌱Growing Skills in Our Life Skills Classroom! Mr. Blyless’ students have been actively exploring their plant-based unit of study through their unique curriculum, engaging in meaningful, hands-on learning that supports both academic and life skills goals. This cross-curricular unit allows students to connect learning across subjects while building important functional skills. Through planting seeds, watering plants, observing growth, and participating in sensory-rich activities, students are working toward their individualized learning objectives in a supportive and engaging environment. Hands-on experiences like these help strengthen communication, fine motor skills, responsibility, and independence, all while learning about how plants grow and what they need to thrive. We are proud of the way our students are exploring, discovering, and growing right alongside their plants! 🌱

🌸 Spring time means sunshine, fresh air… and lots of time at the ball field! ⚾🥎 These teachers were spotted and caught being “ballpark famous” by their students, past and present! Nothing makes our hearts happier than seeing our staff showing up, cheering loud, and supporting our students beyond the classroom. At RES, the relationships we build don’t stop when the school bell rings. We love seeing our teachers out in the community, celebrating the talents and passions of our students all season long!
