Tappan Hill class works on skills while making 'Easter Dirt Cake'

Students in Teacher Kris Cook's class had a blast making "Easter Dirt Cake." Working with their classroom staff and related service providers, students worked on trunk/head/neck control, bilateral hand skills through mixing, pouring and stirring, visual scanning and visual attention through identifying ingredients. Students also worked on concepts like "add, separate, put in, pour, mix, following directions and communicating with their voice or their AAC device. Special thank you to Kris Cook, the Room 5 staff, Maria, Diane, Maureen, and Claribel for making this fun and educational activity possible!
