Seasonal activities in the MoCI room - roll a skeleton and pumpkin soft circuits
🎃 Our Pathfinder SXI team recently created an exciting multisensory learning experience with an Exploding Pumpkin Experiment! Students engaged with all their senses—hearing the fizz, feeling the textures, smelling the pumpkin, and seeing the colorful reaction. We incorporated adaptive equipment to ensure everyone could participate fully, blending sensory stimulation and communication tools for a fun and educational activity. It's all about making learning accessible and engaging for every student! #InclusiveEducation #MultisensoryLearning #AdaptiveEquipment #SXIExperience #STEMFun

We had such a great time partnering with the Building Bridges preschools (Grant, White Cloud, Newaygo, Hesperia, Fremont) for their Family Literacy Nights over the past 2 weeks. Families participated in a story walk, craft activities, and made a delicious snack. All children received free books and parents heard a short message on the importance of talking, reading, and singing with their children every day.
Maple, our school therapy dog, visited students at the NC RESA Building Bridges Neway Nature Preschool today. Maple greeted students as they got off the bus and had special visits with them in the library.
Students shared their love for Maple with lots of pets and fan mail! We can't wait to have Maple back again soon!

Their efforts keep our environments clean, safe, and welcoming, often from behind the scenes and without much recognition.

🌟🚗💦 The Pathfinder SXI Team recently had a blast during a multisensory car wash experience! 💧 Our students enjoyed the sensory fun of water, bubbles, and vibrant colors, and they even got hands-on with assistive technology! With switches, they activated bubbles and fans for drying, and AAC (Augmentative and Alternative Communication) gave them a voice to share their thoughts, making it an empowering experience for all.
