A very cool exercise took place in Mrs. Couser's classroom over the past 21 days; they have been incubating chicken eggs and they started hatching this week! The students loved watching them poke through the egg and start chirping before they could even make it out. 🐣
Through the duration of the exercise, the class learned all about chickens, their life cycle, and how a chicken embryo grows and develops into a full baby chick inside the egg. They also had a livestream on the incubator so students could view at all hours of the day, even at home. Super interesting to witness each stage of growth! 🐥

🍹More drink deliveries for our amazing teachers! Mrs. Embry's class also decided to surprise teachers with some fun special-made sodas for Teacher Appreciation Week. These educators pour their hearts into improving the lives of our students every day, so it's only right to make them something nice in return❤️
For Teacher Appreciation Week, Mrs. Smith's at Troy class used their popcorn business to make a tasty popcorn treat for some of of the hardest working teachers they know. This was just one small way our students could give back to the amazing teacher role models at their school! 🍿
Check out our staff repping their new T-Shirts from this year's design contest, and a special shout out to the winner of the design contest, Katie Bowman! Katie's design was selected from a staff-wide competition as best representing the Miami County ESC's spirit and values.

🕖Mrs. Balkcom's Time Machine Adventure: Dinosaur Explorers on the Move!🦕
One of our CLC classes hopped in a time machine and traveled millions of years into the past to explore the incredible world of dinosaurs! Equipped with explorer hats and binoculars, they set out on a mission to observe, discover, and investigate what life was like during the Age of Dinosaurs.
When they arrived, the explorers carefully scanned the land for movement. They used binoculars to spot dinosaurs in the distance, reacting to what they saw with excitement and wonder. Some brave adventurers even collected 'dinosaur eggs' and studied clues left behind by these fascinating creatures.
At the dig site, they became paleontologists by uncovering dinosaurs, creating our own prehistoric worlds, and learning how fossils help scientists understand the past. By working together and using their imagination, they brought this ancient world to life.
This hands-on adventure was filled with curiosity, teamwork, and discovery. Our student time travelers learned that the past is more than something you just read about, it can be experienced!

Mrs. Wolfe's class headed out to connect with nature last week 🍃☀️
This lucky group took a field trip over to Brukner Nature Center for the day. They walked the trails and saw a variety of critters who were also out soaking up the sunshine. Walking along and identifying each different animal kept our students engaged and active, what a great day outside!🌄

Hello May☀️👋, AKA National Speech-Language-Hearing month!🗣️ What is School-Based Speech-Language Pathology?
In a school setting, an SLP’s duty is to ensure students can access their curriculum and participate in their school community. They focus on the following:
Articulation: Being understood by teachers and peers.
Receptive Language: Understanding spoken lessons and following classroom directions.
Expressive Language: Having the vocabulary and grammar to answer questions or write essays.
Here's some snapshots of our amazing SLPs in action, helping these students build their speech-language skills one exercise at a time!

Mrs. Haught's class has been following different themed units for reading time - last week their focus was sound and what's a better way to demonstrate than popping popcorn!? Of course they had to use the popcorn, so the class decided to make a yummy trail mix to share😋
The snacks seem to keep coming because this week they wrapped up their weather unit by making 'Clouds in the sky' (Whip cream clouds and blue Jell-O!) 🌧️

This week, Mrs. Ruzicka’s students gained insight into the world of business through the success story of Max, a young entrepreneur who started his own company selling spice mixes. Her students then planned a menu around one of Max's spices - They decided to go with his signature Pork Spice Mix to try in their lunch!🔥
After the lesson they enjoyed Max's seasoned pork chops with 'Max Mix' breadcrumbs, mandarin oranges, baked beans and broccoli. Sounds like a very enjoyable and informative day! 😋🍴

Friday was full of excitement and smiles for our preschoolers in Mrs. Etter's classroom as they celebrated Disney Day! All of their favorite characters from Disney were in attendance for a day of games, crafts, and group engagement. Mrs. Etter's room is squeezing every ounce of fun out of this school year before Summer break! 🎊
We are nearing the end of OT Month, so today we're celebrating the terrific OT's serving Troy, Covington, and Vandalia!
In occupational therapy, an 'occupation' for a student is everything they do in a day; from zipping up a coat for recess to opening a milk carton at lunch. Our OTs work tirelessly to build these 'Activities of Daily Living' (ADLs), to help our students build independence one small victory at a time.
Seeing a student master a skill they once struggled with is one of the best parts of any educators day! Thank you to these OT's for for empowering students to do it themselves!💪
