It’s Awareness Week up on the hill! ♾️ Today, we learned about two topics that are near and dear to my heart: autism and its connection to the neurodiversity movement. Loved seeing all the colors as we embraced all kinds of minds Union Elementary ! 🌈 #WEareLakota #WeBelongHere

For day #2 of awareness week, Union Elementary wore orange for those with ADD/ADHD! 🧡 Sometimes our brains feel like they are moving too fast! Through a read aloud of “My Brain is a Racecar”, we learned some coping strategies to help us be our best selves! #WEareLakota #WeBelongHere

On Day #3 of awareness week, Union Elementary rocked their socks for those with Down syndrome! 🧦 #WEareLakota #WeBelongHere

On day #4 of awareness week, Union Elementary celebrated those who are hard of hearing/Deaf. 🧏 Together, we read “All the Ways I Hear You” and made an ASL craft. 🤟 #WEareLakota #WeBelongHere

Celebrated the end of awareness week with a Swimming Peeps recipe! 🐣 #WEareLakota #UnionHawks #WeBelongHere
