bullet Additional social skills practice.
bullet Additional practice of communication skills including peer interaction skills as well as independent functional language skills.

Please find attached our daily class schedule. (At 11:45 a.m. students join their preschool special day class teacher who also is their case manager.)

Please send snack and lunch in separate baggies or containers if possible and label each.
