This week in reading we talked about what happens if we are lazy and don’t do our part at a job site. In our Social Skill Story: The Wrath of Jen, Bob decides not to help Jen while they are washing cafeteria tables. Jen gets very upset and knows that she cannot tattle on Bob, but she does not know how to handle the situation. We discussed how this makes us feel and what the appropriate way to handle the situation would be. We learned that sometimes some people just are not cut out for certain jobs.
In math we worked on our coffee cart skills of counting money, making change, and learning how to socialize correctly. We also worked on being able to look at the grocery flyer, make grocery lists, and see if we have enough money to buy what we need.
In cooking we practiced making our own grilled cheese sandwiches, punch, and crunchy fun drops. It was a fun learning experience; and the students liked the fact they could make everything without a lot of adult help. All recipes are being sent home for you to try over the weekend.
Have a wonderful weekend!

We have had a wonderful week! In the community, we continued to visit our local job sites. Students continued to work hard at each job site and continued to focus attention on their on- task goals. Students continue to give so much effort and we continue to see improvements with employment skills. Students also had the chance to visit Kroger on Tuesday to purchase supplies for our science experiment. It was a great trip and it was great to be able to use the self-checkout line as teaching lesson for the students.
In the classroom this week, we focused on different activities. We spent the mornings working on money totals for math and identifying cause and effect for language arts. We spent time working on independent skills by folding wash cloths in the classroom. We used grocery flyers in the class to practice next dollar strategy with total grocery prices. Students also participated in the Rain Cloud in a jar for Science, which they had a great time doing!
Have a good weekend!

Students did a great job practicing how to start a conversation this week. They were given a list of questions and had to ask other people at CNHS the questions. They also made videos this week of themselves having conversations with their peers. We will use these videos for modeling how to initiate a conversation. They enjoyed a game of “Conversation Freeze.” Students had to walk around the room while music was playing. When it stopped, they had to initiate a conversation with the person nearest to them. Picture prompt questions were available for them to use. Pictures of this fun activity are in the newsletter. Next week we will talk about how to respond to questions. Our weekly statements are listed.

That sounds good
Wow!
That is funny!
I don’t like that.
I like that.
I did that too.
