🍳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
Our preschool teachers went ALL-OUT this year in honor of Spooky Season👻 Our students enjoyed costume contests, whacky Halloween snacks, trick-or-treat time, and many other activities. Our teachers did an awesome job of mixing the Halloween spirit with hands-on learning! #HappyHalloween #Halloween2025 #MiamiCountyESC 🧛♂️🍬
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🌲!

This past week, one of Mrs. Prenger's students walked across the stage and bid farewell to Troy High School! She has been with Mrs. Prenger at THS for the past 6 years, who said: "We are so excited for her. We will really miss her as she brought so much joy to a room". Thanks to graduation falling on Halloween dress-up day, everyone else was in costume!😆 #YouGoGrad #MiamiCountyESC #Graduation

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
Mrs. Balkcom’s class has been working hard with Mrs. Carey to strengthen social-emotional skills!

We’re so grateful for Mrs. Carey’s support in helping us learn how to be kind, cooperative, and great friends. Our students are using these skills each day to be their best in every class.

Mrs. Prenger's class at Troy chose to make some yummy pumpkin bars last week. First, the students put together a grocery list and purchased their ingredients according to a recipe📋. They then worked with each other to properly follow the recipe in order to get their perfect snack. They not only got to enjoy themselves, but share with others as well! 😋 Nice work Mrs. Prenger incorporating real life skills and fun in the classroom! #BakeItUp🧁 #MiamiCountyESC
Mrs. Flory helps keep art fun and engaging at our Cooperative Learning Center! Her creative projects allow students to express themselves while building fine motor skills, imagination, and problem-solving abilities. Aside from nurturing creativity, art offers our students meaningful opportunities to develop social-emotional skills from managing frustration to celebrating success and collaborating with peers. Huge thanks to Mrs. Flory for providing this experience to our students💛🖌️#ArtTeaches #MiamiCountyESC
🔬Its been a science-heavy month in our ESC classrooms! This experiment comes from Mrs. Couser's class at Miami East. This month students have been learning about what it means to be a scientist, and Friday they were hands-on creating their own chemical reactions with baking soda and vinegar💥 Always fun to make a mess! #STEM #ESCLearning #MiamiCountyESC
By developing responsibility, attention to detail, and task completion skills, students are preparing for success in post-graduation vocational settings and greater independence in daily life. 💼👏
