During the month of October, students in the Adult Transition Program (ATP) went on many trips and participated in activities outside of their classroom to enrich learning. Students visited Westview Orchard, downtown Berkley during Boo!kley days and enjoyed a meet up with ATP alumni.
At the orchard, students picked pumpkins that we were later painted at their fall party. Students also enjoyed cider and donuts while practicing social awareness, reading environmental signs, and purchasing items. Jen Plater, ATP teacher shared that students also had a chance to practice their social media skills by taking the perfect Instagram picture.
During the morning of October 28th, ATP students visited Downtown Berkley during Boo!kley days to see the ghosts and skeletons at local businesses. Students had to complete a scavenger hunt to find different ghosts.
Ms. Plater shared, “The students did an amazing job. We followed up our Boo!kley visit by inviting many past graduates of the program and some high school friends to CASA. Together we painted pumpkins, grouped together in a video game tournament, and danced the afternoon away.”
