Felicity teachers have had to adapt to a lot of changes this school year, especially with new students coming in and creating new ways to connect, here are a few messages from our classroom teachers about some highlights from the school year:
Felicity represents an opportunity for the classes to have different experiences. We love the different lunches, band room, staff members and peers. We also love the opportunity to do different ways of instruction from hands on to direct instruction to computer based instruction. The ability to diversify and know that in my room, it is not about the disability but the ability, brings out the uniqueness of each other.- Ms. Horwitz
“This year, our class started playing board/card games during our breaks. It has been a great way to build rapport in our classroom and create positive relationships. Our students look forward to playing the games and spending social time with their classmates and teachers. We love to see the students in our classroom bond with each other, along with the staff.” -Ms. Nightingale and Mr. Mitchem
“We have discovered talented artists and musicians in our classroom In fact, a Felicity Art Gallery is in the works, with the help of our art therapist, Ms. Freberg! Join in Karaoke and jam sessions in our Felicity Band Room.”- Ms. Wright and Mr. Farca
“The ability to transition in and out of a work-centered environment, to a fun and caring space, is crucial to the development of students at Felicity School! At Felicity, you can often find many avenues for personal growth: 1 on 1 basketball or maybe a game of Sorry! Need a bracelet or want to relax and use the rubber band loom? Not a problem! Feel like signing up for our basketball team? Of course you do! Here at Felicity, we have opportunities for students to grow into the best versions of themselves.” -Mr. Luskin and Mr. Townsend
