This week in LI1, our students combined teamwork and life skills in a fun and meaningful cooking lesson! As part of our Unit Lesson learning about the Team Impact organization, students learned what it means to be a member of a team—supporting one another, showing encouragement, and working together toward a common goal. This learning ties directly into our preparation for the Special Olympics on May 15th!

Our unit recipe was ballpark nachos, and students practiced important daily living and functional skills throughout the process. They explored new foods by trying ingredients, took part in preparing the recipe, and learned about oven safety.

Congratulations to our school counselor, Elizabeth Drayton, for being recognized as our Rookie Teacher of the Year!
