Sensory House!
On Halloween, our students had a great opportunity to give back to our Brooks community, and practice some great, real life skills at the same time! We put on a Sensory House, with a Halloween theme! We had See, Hear, Smell and Touch. Students were greeted with a Jack O Lantern that was turned on with a switch, along with some scary music, and a recorded message that said 'Welcome to our Sensory house"! Then they went to the smell station. They had to smell 3 different boxes and tell us what they thought they were. We had perfume, fish and sauerkraut! Next was our touch station! We had sticky blood, brains, eyeballs, and bloody hands. Next people signed our banner, then moved onto a corn hole game. It was a lot of fun!
