Sensory experiences you may encounter:

  • Wearing an apron to keep clean while painting
  • Wearing a face covering/mask in the classroom
  • And as always, you can expect variety of noises and voices in the classroom: some joyful, some loud, some quiet, and some just learning how to navigate this world.
