Fourth grade stewardship focuses on people with disabilities. This year, we are working to help our students learn about organizations in our community that support people with disabilities, as well as celebrate each other's differences.
This week our 4th graders took a field trip to SureStep and Corvilla. Students toured the SureStep facility, learning about the orthotic braces and other products they make. Then the students visited Corvilla's Granger location for a tour and learned about the opportunities they provide.
Fourth graders also had a guest speaker talk about language and how AAC devices assist communication. During religion classes Mrs. Schmitt will revisit the 3-pronged approach to stewardship and how we embrace it as a way of life, as well as how we can learn about and support those with disabilities. She will also talk to the students about Saint Thorlak, the unofficial patron saint of autism.
