BRUST’S BUNCH

The students in Ms. Brust’s classroom are working on the basics in Reading, Writing, Math, Science and Social Studies every day. Good looking, listening, touching and choosing are the skills emphasized. All of the students use wheelchairs and/or a variety of walkers, standers and assistive technology to access their learning environment.

Inclusion activities are strong at Dare. Ms. Brust’s students are picked up for and welcomed into all the general education resource classes. Everyone likes….

A rousing parade of songs in Music!           

                  A suspense-filled story or two in the Library!

A colorful paint or glue project in Art!         

A happy session with puppets in guidance!

Brust’s Bunch continues practicing, with all their teachers and therapists, the art of moving, eating and communicating on our own. We are encouraged by our many friends. We know we belong in this exciting place called SCHOOL !
