☀️ Man oh man this change in weather has been a dream come true 💭 Our crew spent some time outside yesterday, tending their garden, walking and enjoying the sunshine and breeze. Then they finished the day with Ice Cream Sundaes! 🍨

🌟 This Week at Commonwealth Connections Day Training 🌟

We’ve got another fun-filled week ahead! Our crew will be building social skills with activities like Coping Skills Bingo and the Skittles Emotions Game, getting creative with crafts (think fabric butterflies, sand art, and letter canvas painting 🎨), and finding peace with spiritual wellness through meditation, Bible trivia, and even a special guest speaker.

We’ll keep our bodies moving with yoga, dance videos, and outdoor walks (if the cooler temps roll in 🤞). Plus, don’t miss these highlights:
🥔 Baked Potato Bar Cooking Class
🍴 Lunch outing to a local Mexican restaurant
💄 DIY Kool-Aid Lip Gloss
🏊 Swimming on Wednesday with Sarah
🐾 A fun Dog Show on Thursday
💝 Making goodie bags for a local nursing home
