start of the week August 17 - 21

Today we started 2 new units in the classroom. We have begun our second story for the year since all of the class scored an A on reading the first story, "A Cat". The second story is entitled "Spider" and I have sent a copy home with all the students. They heard it and worked on it this morning with different opinions of it so far.

When asked T5 mentioned, "I don't know" and with prompting he said "yes I like spiders"
C5 - "I think um" *giggles* "I think the spider is pretty, and it bites you"
T7 - ""Yuck, Yuck! That is what I think. It was yuck yuck yuck"

Then we started the second area of science discussing and learning about the bones in the body, while talking about food and health. Along with working on our sequence and pattern skills in math. T5 seems to really enjoy math over reading and writing. But when asked if he wanted to do math he said, "Oh What, oh no No no no no." repeatedly 2 times.

Well hopefully we will all be able to be here the whole week without the tropical storm causing us to miss class. Tuesday morning we will get to have our first library experience.

Hello new Year

Hello and welcome back students to a new year at our school. I know we will enjoy the year, learn a lot about each other, gain some life and vocational skills, and have fun in the process. I hope to use this blog to have it updated at least weekly for all to see and view. Please remember to return forms and items sent home on Aug. 10th back to the school as soon as possible so we can do all the activities I have planned for this class.

For those that do wish to comment on posts in the blog you have to have a google account first. I also scan and moderate all comments prior to them being published on this blog.
