Portage High School Special Education Department News, November 13, 2014

PHSCrestLisa Casimer, from the YMCA, is coming to our IPR class at least once a month to do breathing techniques and yoga. She spent an hour here on Wednesday and the students were very receptive. Not only did she teach the techniques, but she was able to support her reasoning and support for yoga with personal stories in order to make it more relevant in their lives.

Mrs. Moser’s LRE class continues to do “jobs” around the school to learn responsibility and pick up some skills. The intention is to teach them some skills at school that will transfer to a job in the community in the future.

All classes are working on “beefing up” skills needed to pass the ECA’s in Algebra and English. Retesting being December 9. Good luck to all students who will be testing!
