We are off to another exciting school year at OBHS. Our two new students: Dylan and Sara have settled in nicely and are very happy with our group. This week we have been learning school and classroom rules. Students are learning that when you bring Communication Folder, Calendar, and signed papers you may be the spot check person and get a treat. This week we have also done some testing to help in the formulation of reading and math groups. We began a basic Health Unit on Animals. Friday, August 14, we were honored to have Marco, one of the Drug Dogs come to our class. We learned that we have dogs as pets, but that there are also working dogs. The students were amazed at how talented Marco was. While studying the pet unit, class members were excited about our new class pets, Ninja and Yertle (2 red-eared slider turtles). We are also excited about the upcoming event of Special Olympics. This event will take place September 10th. Be on the lookout for release forms to be sent home in the near future. Students are excited about our token economy. They are "paid" for returning signed folders and completing any assignments. At the end of the week, the students are allowed to go to our class store and purchase items with the money they have earned. You can help your young adult earn money by signing and returning their folder daily.
