Classroom 7 - Crossroads Center for Children

Class Overview

Classroom 7
Room seven in a 6:1:2 integrated classroom with students’ ages two to three years of age. Throughout the school day we focus on developing social skills, building attention spans, developing play skills and working on our communication skills. We participate in group activities and individual instruction. Group activities include morning and afternoon meeting, play group, centers/ sensory activities, art, music, gym and a healthy eating group. Learning how to play with a variety of classroom toys and how to play next to or with a peer is an essential part of our school day. Our individual instruction times focus on each program student’s individual needs in a 1:1 setting. In Room seven we have fun learning all day long!

- Noah is nearly independent in dressing and toileting and so much more. Hope is priceless and what others took away from us in an already devastating situation, Crossroads Center for Children teachers and administrators gave back two-fold.
