Behind-the-Scenes Pizza Edition — Mrs. Scherbyna's class had the chance to peek behind the curtain and see how the dough is made👀🍕

On their field trip to Piqua Pizza Supply, Mrs. S' class saw what all goes into that delicious circular pie we all know and love, and they also took part in production by helping flatten pizza crusts! Each student was sent home with their own pizza-making kit to use with their family. Huge thanks to Piqua Pizza Supply for having us! #FieldTrip #PizzaParty #MiamiCountyESC

🛠️🏚️Check out what Mrs. Olivarez's preschool class has been up to! During their study of homes, the class turned an oversized box into their own construction project. First they cut out the frame, then painted, and finished by adding their own personal touches such as decorations and a birdhouse. This unit teaches important lessons about the value of shelter and how it can affect wellbeing😊 Awesome job to Mrs. Olivarez's class, keep building! #HomeBuilding #MiamiCountyESC

🤝Career Connections in action! This week, Liz and Kristi, our career connections team, participated in Bethel High School’s first ever “Pathways to the Future” event. It was a great opportunity for us to share the value of YouScience (a career navigation tool) with students who have taken or are about to take the assessment. Making sure students know the value of career exploration early is paramount to their success after high school!

They shared the table with Amy Anyanwu from DriveSmart - a program for students to obtain their driving hours for their license.

At the Miami County ESC, we strive to make an impact in and outside of the classroom! #CareerNavigation #CareerConnections #MiamiCountyESC

The students in Mrs. Smith's class at Troy have been hard at work! Many have learned to sew in Family and Consumer Science class and just completed their very own t-shirt pillow based on their interests☺️. The class was also gifted beads, which they turned into bracelets to support the Trojan football team. The students sold 137 bracelets between the TJHS and THS. Go Trojans!

🌠Grants making a difference in our classrooms!🌠

Mrs. Peltier's classroom was awarded a grant from Garber Electric in Englewood! One of our students, Wyatt Miller, has a grandfather who works there who nominated the class to receive the grant. As you can see, the students are loving the new classroom additions! This grant led to us being able to purchase a variety to support and supplement learning and sensory regulation in our classroom.

Massive thank you to Jim Miller, grandfather of Wyatt, for his nomination. Your contributions to this classroom have a material impact on our students! #GarberGrant #MiamiCountyESC

🍳🥓The most important meal of the day Miss Embry's class whipped up a tasty breakfast today! Cooking lessons engage our students mentally and physically, from following the recipe to preparing the meal themselves. Of course they finished the lesson by chowing down on what they made, tasty looking plates there guys!😋 #YUM #MiamiCountyESC

🍂Fall Festival was a blast this year at the CLC!🍁

It's that time of year; pumpkins, bonfires, smores, and festivities! Our students at the Cooperative Learning Center enjoyed a day filled with fun activities and crafts. We love bringing our separate classrooms together for community and bonding. Teachers and students threw on their costumes for one last time this year, check out the always adorable Rip in his minion outfit😝 Between art, games, food, and crafts there was something for every student to feel engaged at this years fest! #CLCLearning #FallFest #MiamiCountyESC

🌠It is National School Psychology Week, and we want show some appreciation for our amazing school psychologists at the Miami County ESC! Our school psychologists are uniquely qualified members of our team that support students’ ability to learn and teachers’ ability to teach. They are experts in mental health, student learning, behavior, special education, and evidence-based interventions. Possessing these skills allow them to effectively collaborate with students, families, and educators to support student well-being and academic success. They apply expertise in these areas to help children and youth succeed academically, socially, behaviorally, and emotionally inside and outside the classroom. We can't thank our school psych's enough, send some love their way this week and let them know how much they are appreciated! 🌟❤️#SchoolPsychologyWeek #MiamiCountyESC #THANKYOU

🍳Cooking lessons at the CLC!🥣
Ms. Ashton and Mr. Clarks class had a chance to learn some real-life skills, cooking a healthy and hearty breakfast of scrambled eggs and biscuits with gravy (Yum!). Students followed a step-by-step recipe, making sure not to skip over important kitchen safety practices.

We love this lesson because it teaches our students the value of working together and acquiring these skills to grow their independence. After their meal, students cleaned up and sanitized their workspace for a quick lesson in responsibility! ✔️ #CookingLessons #MiamiCountyESC #CLCLearning

🦇One last Halloween activity post as we say goodbye to the spookiest time of year! Mrs. Smith's class at Broadway used a lesson in language and fine motor skills to make a "Halloween Soup" with their speech therapist, Mrs. Kaiser. After, they each decorated their own pumpkins and cookies to eat and enjoy with their classmates!🎃 #MiamiCountyESC #GoodbyeHalloween #HelloThanksgiving

Adventures outside of the classroom☀️🏞️
Last week, Mr. Peters class from Miami East took a trip to Fulton Farms to hangout with the animals and get lost in the corn maze🌽! Over at Piqua, Mrs. Shcherbyna's class headed out to Bruckner Nature Center where the students learned about wildlife rehabilitation careers and observed the animals in nature🌲!

☕Who needs a pick-me-up?!♨️
Mrs. Embry's class at Milton Union opened their monthly Coffee Shop operated by the students! First they practiced their literary skills by reading, crafting, and sorting orders according to the customers preferences. Then, they utilized their vocational and communication skills to greet each customer as they stopped by to pick up their order! What an awesome way to blend real-life experiences and classroom learning! ⭐ #CoffeeTime #CoffeeShop #MiamiCountyESC

🥼⚗️Another "Science Fair" coming from Mrs. Bell's class at Cookson Elementary in Troy! Students worked through all kinds of experiments to teach them about concepts such as ⚡energy, friction, mass, and many more⚖️. It's one thing to learn about these concepts from someone else, and another to put them to the test yourself! Our students were able to experience each concept firsthand and relate it to everyday life. Nice job Mrs. Bell! #STEM #ScientificMethod #MiamiCountyESC
