Adapted Games
Last Friday we spent the day at Marietta High School participating in the third annual Marietta Adapted Games! We had a wonderful time with a ton of fun and laughter. Be sure to check the MCS social media for pictures!
Our Curriculum!
The SC classes use an adapted curriculum called enCore! There are a total of 36 units, and those units are banded by grade levels. All of our classes have multiple grade levels. Due to this, some classes might use two units simultaneously. For example, a class might use a unit for kindergarten through second and a different unit for grades third through fifth. Each unit consist of an adapted fiction book and an adapted nonfiction book. It takes six weeks to complete one full unit with three weeks per book.
