Abilities by Ivanka Garber


My article is about Abilities! At Abilities, I like to sort different activities and talk to my friends. I also like going into the sensory rooms. The staff are very nice people! I enjoy playing the Nintendo Wii, my favorite part of the Wii is seeing the little characters. I have coffee during my break which I enjoy. I also like taking part in music class. The van rides are fun. Sometimes we sit outside when it is nice out, I talk to my friends outside too. I love doing candy work so I can earn a paycheck. I enjoy coming to Abilities every day, it makes me happy.
