As we celebrate National Special Education Day, we have a lot of things to be excited about as we enter our third year of being the host district in the Goddard Special Education Cooperative. Our cooperative serves 1,732 students in 21 school buildings within the communities of Goddard, Clearwater, Conway Springs, and Cheney. Our cooperative also serves students with disabilities who attend St. Elizabeth Ann Seton in Wichita, Holy Spirit in Goddard, St. Joseph in Conway Springs, and St. Peter in Schulte. Our staff in these communities do an incredible job of working with all students regardless of their disability. They define the mission of our cooperative, that all students can learn together in a school community and participate meaningfully via inclusive education systems that meet the unique needs of all students.
It is Friday and the kids definitely had the Tiger Ticket drawing on their minds! Each of these five won a cool learning ball set that can get them to work on their imagination and coordination.
We also have a new prize to announce for two students each week. Drawing from Tiger Tickets we will pull two names that have earned "Novel Nala" time. Nala is Mrs. G's therapy dog and these two will get to do a fun activity with her next week. It could be taking her on a walk, reading her a book or snuggling while listening to a story! We are so excited for all the bonds to form between the students and Nala!
Super job showing your Tiger Traits this week Oak Street!

Happy December! Yearly on December 2nd we recognize National Special Education Day. We find this date a perfect moment to identify all of our Special Education Staff. At Oak Street we have 5 Interrelated Teachers (1 per grade), Three Mixed Abilities Teachers, over 20 Paraprofessionals, 2 Speech Pathologists, 1 Occupational Therapist, 1 Physical Therapist, 1 Adaptive PE Teacher, 1 Social Worker and 1 School Psychologist busy working with all students. This picture is just a sampling! So glad we could get together on December 1st to reflect on this special day tomorrow and how this group assists our students with such care!

Some people have Spring cleaning, but Mrs. Mullen has Fall cleaning. She has been busy cleaning out the Tiger Ticket Prize area to make room for all the new items! This prize winning group earned a bag o' fun with a variety of age appropriate prizes! We went with two winners per grade this week as a thank you for all the great tiger traits shown over the past 5 days. Sometimes it is even more challenging when our schedules are unique and switched up to do the right thing, but this group proved they could persevere! Proud of you tigers! Have an amazing Thanksgiving Break!
