With leaf colors at their peak and Devereux clients already experiencing their first snowfall, Devereux Colorado is definitely in the throes of another beautiful fall. With fall comes back to school, so what are some of the changes happening at Devereux Colorado, Cleo Wallace Center? Here are some of the exciting things going on around the education wing:
Art
Classroom projects are currently on display in the classroom wing. The theme of this months art projects: the great twist on the artistic use of crayon. Still also on display in the education wing are pieces that were done for the Devereux Colorado Summer Art Show.
Physical Education
Devereux Colorado offers physical education daily. The activities coordinators work extremely hard to create a variety of different activities for our kids. Skills, sportsmanship, exercise and teamwork are strongly encouraged and worked upon through the Devereux Colorado Physical Education Program.
Student Council
The Devereux Colorado, Cleo Wallace student council group meets on the first Tuesday of every month. Each classroom elects a representative who represents class interests at the monthly meetings and reports back on the progress being made. Devereux Colorado has created this student group as part of our mission to provide a student voice, perspective and a leadership opportunity for our kids.
Student of the Month
Devereux Colorado continues to recognize the students excelling academically through the student of the month awards. Teachers nominate students for their focused diligence, positive behavior, learning effort and overall success in school. We celebrate their success by providing recognition and a lunch a Duke’s Diner, our on campus restaurant.
Field Trips
We continue to integrate field trips into our school experience for our kids. This gives our clients the opportunity to visit local libraries, enjoy local plays and movies, journey on excursions to the mountains and attend local sports games. (Go Broncos!)
Laptops
Laptops are making their way into classroom instruction to provide the most up-to-date research being conducted along with additional learning opportunities for our kids.
Library
Next month, Devereux Colorado teaching staff will inventory our current collection and look to strengthen and broaden our selection through our Books for Education donation program. Coming soon: audio books!
