In reading we continued to work on our social skills. We talked about the importance of being a friend, making friends, and how to appropriately communicate with our friends. We used the birthday scene from The Indian in the Cupboard to help us understand what we should do when we receive a gift from a friend we may not exactly like. This is important to us as summer is quickly approaching and we will be meeting new people at the park, swimming, at camp, and even in our neighborhood.
In math we continue to work on our money math skills so we can become more efficient on the coffee cart. We are also working on how these skills carry over to our community outings to Sam's Club, Wal-Mart, and local restaurants. This too will help us this summer so that we can continue to practice our money skills when we go shopping with our parents. We also learned that walking to the mall, doing a lap around the mall, and walking back is over a mile and a half. This helped us practice crossing the street safely by reading street signs and obeying traffic signals.
Over the next few weeks we will begin to eat outside as the weather gets nicer, and we will also be going to local restaurants to enjoy a lunch outing.

In the classroom this week we continued to review material that we have worked on over the course of the school year. We focused on cause and effect, dollar up strategy and community signs that we have become familiar with on our community outings.
In the community this week, we continued to focus on our job skills and training. An example of our training occurred when students had the opportunity to visit Goodwill this week. Each of them had the opportunity to purge clothing items from the previous weeks colored item. Students were given a section (i.e. men, women, and children) and had to locate a specific colored tag in order to remove the clothing item from the rack. There are various task to complete during this job (locate item, remove hanger, sort hanger and clothing, place clothing in box, place hangers on rack) and students show such responsibility and persistence when working.
On Wednesday, May 6th at 5:30pm the Unified Track Team will have their first meet at Columbus East High School. Please come out and support the team!

We have started working on a project for Mother’s Day. Students will bring their project home next Friday. The project involves newspapers. Students might have mentioned working with the newspaper recently.
Students I provide service to will be going to Ceraland to play Putt Putt on Friday May 15th. They will be also be going to Mrs. London’s house on Friday May 29th for an end of the year celebration.
We will be talking about how to end a conversation over the next few weeks. Students have been applying what they have learned about conversations in the community and at school. It has been noted on their data sheets. I hope it has been noticed at home!

It was nice talking to you.
I need to get going.
Talk to you later.
I really enjoyed talking to you.
Let’s talk more later.
