The Franklin ABA & PSD classes began their 2nd Annual Spring Activities Day with a classroom visit by the Easter Bunny. The students then participated in several fine motor and gross motor activities with the assistance of the Peer Leaders. They also had the opportunity to work on vocabulary words (e.g., "look," "throw," "match," etc.) using picture symbols. They ended the day with a fun Easter egg hunt!
