The week of February 15th

This week was a fun week in B6. We had fun on Presidents' Day discussing several of the past Presidents of our country. The students enjoyed a Power Point presentation about Lincoln and Washington. We located the Capital and saw a file on the White House. In health this week we worked with the nutrition labels and were able to search for the sugar content in items that we selected from the store. One of the math groups is currently working on learning the meaning behind multiple buying and how to figure the price. The other math group is working on Numeral symbol representation as well as using worksheets that show the missing number. The class also had fun competing with the name it game this week. This is a game that will reinforce identification of coins and the values. The class loved playing it and the retention of skills previously mastered was present. In Science we had a powerpoint presentation on Clouds. The students were shown slides and we discussed the type and labeled the group of clouds. The art class came down to the room and worked with us on making Olympic Torches. Needless to say these were a hit! We are so fortunate to have Mrs. Casio's class come to our room and help us during art.

Lifeskills involved cleaning the room and practicing table setting as well as mopping. We are working with the folding of towels and hope to be able to increase everyone's neatness on this skill. The best thing that we did this week in Life Skills involved cooking. The students were so interested in the Egg in a Mug recipe. Everyone made their own egg and there was a lot of talk about making these at home. I sure hope that this skill is reviewed at home so that it will be easier for the students.

Remember that next Friday we wil be going to the special olympics!!! We have been keeping up with the winter games and everyone is excited about this
