We had a fun filed week again this week. Everyone is working so hard during journal time. Students are aware of the special thing that they are to strive to improve on as they copy the journal each day. At wrap up time we review the daily journal and look to see if we met our goals. We are working on our weather unit for the remainder of this week. We have studied climate and worked at reading maps from various internet sites and from the newspaper. We all understand how changes in weather can change our plans. Everyone saw how first hand weather can make us miss school. With such a short week we did spelling lists based on our dolch list. Each student has their own Dolch Book for nightly review. Practice of these words nightly will help with mastery. We were able to celebrate the birthday of Jessica this week. Jessica turned 18 years old this week and we celebrated with chocolate iced cupcakes. Gym time this week has focused on the class getting prepared for the Basketball Olympics that will take place next week. Class members are working to improve all three areas: dribble, free throw, and passing. During life skills we have worked with folding, and hanging clothes. The class is doing a fantastic job of sorting laundry and measuring detergent correctly.
