Welcome Back!

Hello and welcome back to the Bernardo classroom blog. The classroom currently consists of 10 students and 5 staff. We are excited to have Ms. Joyce, Ms. D, Mr. A. and Ms. C back again this school year. It is going to be an exciting year for our classroom because we have four of our students graduating. Throughout the year, we will be posting some info as well as pictures/ videos of our classroom. Please enjoy the videos below of our new promethean smartboard. We are all very excited to have this cutting edge technology in our classroom! Thanks, Mr. Bernardo

Happy LABBB Bloggers Day!"

Hello and welcome  to our classroom Blog. We are a life skills classroom at Lexington High School's LABBB Program. The LABBB Program at Lexington High School serves high school age students with multihandicaps, as well as students with mild to intensive special needs. The goal is to provide academic
instruction, pre-vocational opportunities and vocational services. All students are assigned to
substantially separate classrooms with similar peers. They are also given opportunities for
mainstreaming into regular education classrooms. An integrated model provides speech/language,
occupational and physical therapies, counseling, and wellness/self advocacy groups. After-school
recreational opportunities are available. This classroom currently has 12 students from places such as Bedford, Belmont, Everett, Wellesley, and many other towns/districts. The students range in age and all participate in LABBB's vocational program. Please visit our blog for updates about our classroom as well as videos and pictures of our students working hard and most of all having fun here at LABBB.
