So proud of the 8th graders. They started the process of making their moccasins in January and for most of them it’s their first time beading. They started with tracing their feet, to making their own patterns, to creating their own design, and now a lot are well on their way to having them done before graduation.
Executive Functioning is an important skill for students. Here are some helpful strategies for parents from "IEP Individualized Education Program" and "Special Education Community"
