Cantor House at GHS
Mr. Richard Kahn and Ms. Amanda Jagel are in their Block 4 Academic Labs. Students worked on their goals and objectives, utilized time management and executive functioning skills to tackle the tasks of the day. The room has been designed to support our learners with features such as special lighting around the whiteboard instead of overhead lights, symphonic music in the background, and flexible seating options. Our learners did a wonderful job following expectations, increasing independence, advocating for assistance when needed, and utilizing previously learned skills to tackle challenging curriculum and plan for upcoming projects.
