Math

This week in math class, students continued reviewing and practicing money skills. Students finished and turned in their Haunted House Project. One student worked extra hard and created a model of his haunted house!

Language Arts

This week in Language Arts class, students continued working on punctuation. Students continued working on the difference between using a period (.), a exclamation point (!), and a question mark (?) by writing sentences for each one and sharing them with the class. We also have been practicing using commas correctly in sentences. Students have also started the first Author’s Writing Curriculum. During these times, students are encouraged to write whatever they want. These writing samples are then shared with the class later in the week. On Wednesday, students practice reading and analyzing short articles using the 5 W’s (What, Who, Where, When, Why). Students also continue to work on their memory and listening comprehension by listening to the story The Adventurer’s Guild and having class discussions about the events of the plot and writing in their journals.

Job Skills

This week in job skills students collected recycling, worked at the school store, and used the internet to research a career they were interested in pursuing after high school. Students read about and practiced appropriate body language for a place of employment. They finished off the week viewing two videos. One was about essential tips for good conversations, and the other was about how body language effects how we feel about ourselves.
