Hello :)

I am Katie Granahan, the Adjusted Learning teacher and Special Olympics coach at MMS. When I am not in my classroom, you can find me traveling with my husband to national parks, searching for amazing sweet treats at bakeries, singing along at concerts, gardening at home and school, and coaching Special Olympics Swimming through NISRA.

I have so much planned for this school year!

• Unique Learning Systems/ N2Y is our primary curriculum for reading, math, science & social studies.
• The PCI sight word curriculum is an additional resource I use to help my students learn to read.
• Throughout the week, students will have opportunities to participate in functional life skill activities. Some examples are cooking, gardening, grocery shopping.
• The class will venture out into the surrounding communities every Wednesday afternoon. Some examples of activities are grocery shopping, sampling menu items at a restaurant, farms, parks, and outdoor sports activities.
• Our classroom has a few businesses: On Friday mornings-What's Brewing Coffee Shop & a Farmer's Market Stand- we grow fresh flowers in the fall/spring and veggies the entire year.
• Special Olympics-Throughout the school year, my students will be participating in Special Olympic practices. They have the choice to participate in the regional competition at end of each sport session. The sports are bocce ball, bean bags, basketball skills, snowshoeing, bowling, soccer, & track field.

School Supplies Needed:

• Change of clothes- top, bottom, undergarments, socks
