Mrs. Garverick's Life Skills Class - OHHS/OHJH

Life Skills students enjoyed a packed out morning starting with a 1st period swim class, followed by a visit from our therapy dog Judd. Special thanks to Mr. Vester and high school cadet teachers, and Adrianna Trexler, Judd's new handler. What a fun day!

Oak Hill FFA students presented a great farming lesson to our Life Skills students earlier this week, and today they showed us their awesome tractors. Thank you students and Ms. Carson!

Thanks to OHHS sophomore Eastin Ashbrooke and family for coming to share with our class about racing. Eastin's cars are designed to help raise autism awareness. Each student was invited to sign a puzzle piece on the cars. What a very special afternoon!

One of our favorite days of the school year.....Tractor Day! We enjoyed comparing sizes, colors, and discussing general likenesses and differences. Thank you FFA and Ms. Carson!

It's Super Bowl Dress-Up Week at OHHS, and Thursday's theme is "Teamwork makes the dream work." A huge shout out to my Life Skills instructional assistants, who give 100%+ every single day to make the "dream work" for our students. So blessed to have this awesome team!

Our winter read-in was a success! Students brought in favorite books and a blanket to enjoy during our language arts time. Winter themed books were read while we sipped warm cocoa. A special thanks to OHHS principal Mr. McClure for reading to our class for today's event.

Students were definitely feeling the Christmas spirit today after hearing OHJH principal Mr. Rob Martin read Christmas stories to our class. Thanks so much, Mr. Martin. What a fun morning!

A huge thank you to Mrs. Vester and her Early Childhood Education classes for the creative sensory boxes they made and donated to our Life Skills class. What an awesome gift!

Today we celebrate Hannah Bennett, on this her last day at Oak Hill. This is Hannah's 10th year in my Life Skills class, and I will surely miss her sweet personality and joyful disposition! Please join me in wishing Hannah the very best as she moves on to her next life venture!

OHHS/OHJH Life Skills students enjoyed a walk along the Sweetser Switch Trail on this beautiful fall day, followed by lunch at the trailhead at Main Street. I'm super proud of them. Most students walked a full mile!

Thanks for a great swim class this past week, @Coach_Vester!

Welcome back to school! We had a fabulous first day in Life Skills!

Spring artwork, spring reading lessons, and rainbow pancakes.....all a part of getting our class excited about the first day of spring!

It's FFA week at OHHS! Life Skills students enjoyed blue skies today and a walk outdoors to see all of the cool tractors.

A big shout out to Orion Satterthwaite, already rocking his eLearning assignments!

Just a change of venue....our therapy dog Zuko will STILL be meeting with us Mon. 11/16 at 10:30 a.m., just not "in person" (or do I say "in dog"? lol :) Students, you can catch this handsome pup via Google Meet, same day, same time. For more info, see Google Classroom.

So proud of these amazing Life Skills students! They're proving themselves to be strong and resilient, adapting to many changes in the classroom and with their schedules. When distancing isn't possible, they are wearing those masks like rock stars!

Thanks to OHHS principal Mr. Means for stopping by our weekly class Google Meet today with some words of wisdom and advice during this season of eLearning. Students, you are on the home stretch. Finish strong!

I've missed these smiling student's faces for way too long! Such a blessing to catch up with them yesterday! Our official eLearning does not begin until April 7th, so this virtual meeting was just for fun and totally voluntary. I loved getting to chat with them!

Luci was beyond excited to show her friends and classmates around during today’s awesome visit to Luci’s Car Wash! Thank you, Ryan and Beth Frank and team!
