Excel 2- Mrs. Wininger's Classroom
Welcome to EXCEL 2!
On top of our regular academics your student will also be participating in "The Bizzy Bean Cafe" The Bizzy Bean Cafe creates real opportunities to learn job skills such as how to be professional, health and hygiene, and how to work as a team. Running a coffee cart business gives my students the opportunity to apply skills worked on in the classroom to real-life situations. Students learn how to use basic math, language arts, communication, and social skills in everyday situations. Communication and social skills are critical for my functional skills students to interact with the world around them. The Bizzy Bean Cafe teaches my students math and social skills in a fun way without them even knowing they're learning.
Students in Excel 2 are also in charge of running the school store. This opportunity helps students learn how to fill orders and deliver them around the building. Students become experts at navigating our school building as well as working on their communication skills.
On Fridays our students will often have a cooking class. We as a group decide on a recipe to make and enjoy. Students learn measurement skills and cooking skills which are important for everyday life.
We also run fun activities throughout the school year with Excel 1 and LEAD programs. We host a Thanksgiving Dinner to thank all our staff including, Encore, homeroom and office staff. Around Christmas we have pancakes and pajama day among many other activities.
Excel 2 is a fun place to work and learn!
