Exceptional Children's Week (March 3rd-7th)!

Exceptional Children's Week

March 3rd-7th

The week of March 3rd-7th was Exceptional Children's week.

Our school participated in a week of events recognizing different exceptionalities. We made 400 buttons and had a school-wide contest to see how many buttons we could sell. The class who purchased the most buttons won a popcorn party. With great support from our school, we sold every button. Congratulations to Ms. Wands’ class for winning the button contest.

We also had a poster contest and trivia contest that focused on famous people with disabilities. Prizes were awarded for the winners of these contests. We had school-wide classroom activities to show how “Egg-Ceptional” we all are.

Each day, our class visited other classes throughout the school. The purpose of these visits was to discuss and show the General Education population the technology we utilize in our class to assist us in learning. We also provided them a musical presentation as well as participated in activities such as Friendship BINGO.

The general education teachers were also presented with small tokens and daily devotionals as a gift of our appreciation. The feedback we received during Exceptional Children’s Week was amazing. The students of Fairview were eager to assist us in every possible way.

Mrs. Walden’s 5th grade class and Mrs. Kennedy’s 4th grade class presented our class and Ms. Henderson's class with very creative hand-made appreciation letters.

Exceptional Children’s Week was not just about recognizing students with disabilities, but learning the differences of others and how we are all “Exceptional” people. The constant support and dedication in such programs as Exceptional Children’s Week is what makes Fairview Elementary the #1 Elementary School.
