The Week of March 29, 2010

I AM SO SORRY THAT WE MISSED A WEEK OF POSTING, BUT MY CAMERA WAS NOT UPLOADING PICTURES AND I HAD TO GET A NEW CARD. WE ARE BACK IN BUSINESS NOW AND HOPEFULLY WE WILL HAVE WEEKLY PICTURES FROM NOW UNTIL THE END OF THE YEAR. WE HAVE BEEN LEARNING A LOT ABOUT PRESCRIPTIONS AND NON PRESCRIPTION MEDICATIONS. THE CLASS HAS GONE OVER THE LEARNING TO READ THE CAUTION LABELS FOR PRESCRIPTION MEDICATIONS. WE HAVE HAD NUMEROUS DISCUSSIONS ABOUT THE DANGERS OF NOT FOLLOWING DIRECTIONS WHEN TAKING ANY KIND OF MEDICATION.

THE CLASS HAS BEEN WORKING HARD WITH THE WEEKLY VOLUNTEERS THAT COME IN FOR ART FROM MRS. CASIO'S CLASS. WE RECENTLY MADE NAME MURALS AFTER DOING TRACINGS FROM THE OVERHEAD AND THEN FILLING IN WITH PICTURES THAT WERE REPRESENTATIVE OF THE STUDENT'S PERSONALITY. THIS PAST WEEK THE CLASS MADE BEAUTIFUL BUTTERFLIES AND THEN DECORATED THEM WITH COLORS GATHERED FROM OUR CLASS COLLAGE OF COLORS. THE ART PROJECT SUPPORTED OUR SCIENCE LESSON ON THE LIFE CYCLE OF THE BUTTERFLY.

WE HAD A REAL TREAT WHEN WE GOT TO GO TO THE DEPARTMENT OF MOTOR VEHICLE AND GET PHOTO (GOVERNMENT
ISSUED IDENTIFICATION CARDS. AFTER THE TRIP TO GET OUR ID CARDS WE WENT TO LUNCH AT THE LOCAL PIZZA HUT. EVERYONE ENJOYED GETTING TO EXPERIENCE THE BUFFET. THE CLASS DID AN AWESOME JOB AND EVEN WORKED THE SELF SERVE DRINK MACHINE.

WE DYED EGGS NEAR THE END OF THE WEEK AND EVEN HAD A RECIPE FOR MAKING NESTS. THE CHOCOLATE NESTS THAT WE MADE WHERE A HIT WITH THE OFFICE WORKERS. (WE MADE DELIVERIES AND SHARED OUR FINISHED PRODUCT)

ONE OF OUR STUDENT HELPERS, TINA, WAS IN A CHIOR CONCERT ON THURSDAY DURING BREAK. WE GOT TO GO TO THE CONCERT AND ENJOYED IT SO MUCH.

WE HOPE THAT EVERYONE HAD A GREAT EASTER BREAK111
