Ms. Harden, our music teacher, has created this wonderful interactive classroom! Please click around, take some time to explore through, and tell us your favorite thing about going to Music class! Happy learning 🙂

Today, we have a special guest on our blog! It’s Ms. Margaret! Enjoy as she reads one of her favorite books called Granny Torrelli Makes Soup by Sharon Creech.

Hello, friends! I hope everyone is staying safe and well! Stay informed and enjoy this TEDEd Video to learn more about the Coronavirus. What are some ways that you and your family are staying safe? Do you wear a facemask when leaving home? Are you practicing safe social distancing? Are you making sure to wash your hands for at least 20 seconds? Share on the comment section below!

**NOTICE** Next week I will not be sending new packets. I realized that many families have just received the packets from the previous week from the USPS. I don’t want to overwhelm anyone with more work. This will allow for blog posts to correlate with the weekly activities as I originally intended. Next weeks blog posts will include social stories regarding the recent changes we have seen in our community. We will continue to have our weekly google meets. As always, I am available via text, phone, or email and I’d love to schedule a face time visit!

Here is a fun exercise video that correlates with our daily living skill, washing laundry!

It was so wonderful to be able to chat with Yahya and his family, today! Special thank you to Mrs. Fournier, Ms. Harden, Ms. Dudek, and Mr. Borg for dropping in to say hello to Yahya! We hope you can join us next week for more special guests to stop by! We all missed you, buddy!

Belal has also been hard at work these past few weeks at home with mom! He is helping mom in a big way with the household chores! Belal has been enjoying crafts, exercising, singing and dancing to music, and being outdoors as often as possible!

I’m happy to see that you two and your families are making the best out of this situation while we are staying home!

Families please be sure to check these links below to see what Mr. Borg, Ms. Dudek, and Ms. Harden have planned for their classes as well! See you next week!

Love,

Ms. Diana

The Core Vocabulary Word of the week is I. In the video below, Ms. Dawn is reading books with the word I in them. Here is the Symbol on the Core Board:

Happy Monday! I hope that everyone is doing well and that all of our mother’s had a wonderful Mother’s Day weekend with their loved ones! This week, I will be hosting a Google Hangouts Meet for students on Thursday at 2pm. This will give a chance for students to see and talk to their friends! (Hopefully, with no technical difficulties) Please be on the lookout for an email on this soon.

Also, I know that getting packets from the mail hasn’t been reliable. Beginning next week, the transportation department will be delivering packets to students homes on Monday’s to ensure they are received on time. I hope that everyone has a great week and I look forward to seeing you soon!

This weeks daily living skill is washing the laundry. Remember, there are many skills to practice when completing this chore. Placing dirty laundry in a basket, sorting the laundry, carrying the basket to the laundry room, putting the clothes in the washer, adding detergent, turning on the washer are all skills needed to complete this task. It’s ok if some of the skills are not accessible to you at this time, the most important part of teaching a new skill is engaging in the activity as much as possible. This will lead to greater independence.
