Hike and "Feeding" the Ducks!

After a day of Special Olympics Basketball, the girls were worn out! Ha! Ha! They decided to take a break in the rocking chairs at Turner Lake!

We all met in the conference room where we were given snacks and drinks! Ms. Malcom and Enoch took this opportunity to work on a little sign language!

Cheers!

Then, we went outside for a beautiful picnic lunch!

Ms. Malcom found a "grandaddy long legs" spider. Joyria, Enoch, and Lucy were quite interested in it!

After our picnic lunch, we headed to the lake with our leftovers, to feed the ducks!

We even ran into DeAsia's grandmother! She is so sweet!

The ducks were interested in our leftovers when we first arrived at the lake. It didn't take us long, however, to scare them off! Ha! Ha!

We tried our best to convince the ducks to stick around! :-)

Fun at Turner Lake!

So..... after "feeding" the ducks (actually scaring them off), we made our way to the playground at Turner Lake! This playground was much bigger than our playground at school! We were all so excited to play!

Eliana and Tanayry went straight for the jungle gym!

Santoes went straight for the slide!

Tyler and Mrs. Holland are the best of friends!

DeAsia loved climbing to the very top of the playground equipment!

Monkey Lucy!

I love this picture of Mrs. Higdon and Enoch!

Joyria and Mrs. Stowe!

Mrs. Higdon and Ms. Malcom were trying to teach Enoch how to do a fishy face!

Ha! Ha! Mrs. Higdon and La'Shawn on the way back to the classroom after our trip to Turner Lake!

We had so much fun at Turner Lake! We can't wait to go back!

Cute Pics from the Past Week!

Below are a few pictures that I had to share from the past week! I think they are too cute!

We tried to get Joyria to show us a "peace" sign to match her shirt, but this is all we could get! She is too cute!

La'Shawn has a new hairdo!

And we LOVE it!


Ha! Ha! Tyler's shirt says it all! I love it!

Jonathan and Tyler are great friends! How sweet!

Santoes worked so hard today. By music time, he couldn't stay awake! :-)

Winter vs. Summer!

Today we read a story called "Shoes From Grandpa". We also talked about the differences between the seasons, Summer and Winter, as well as the types of clothing that we would wear during each season!

Eliana was our volunteer to dress for a cold Winter! She had to choose, from the various types of clothing on the floor, the clothes that she would wear during the Winter!

Eliana loved the boots! They were the first items that she chose!

Getting all dressed up for Winter!

Too cute!

Tanayry was our volunteer to dress for a hot Summer!

The first item that she chose was the shorts!

She quickly found the flip flops and sunglasses!

Tanayry looks beach ready!

Thanks to Eliana and Tanayry for helping us learn about the clothes that we would wear during the Summer and Winter!

You both did a great job!

A Little Bocce Ball!

In Adaptive PE we have been learning how to play bocce ball. We really enjoy it! Today, our students earned a little free time. So, we went outside to play a game of bocce ball!

Wow! What a crew! :-)

Our friends Hunter and Laney, from Mrs. Frix's 3rd grade class, even got to come out and play with us!

Playing bocce ball!

La'Shawn throwing the ball! He and Lucy were on the red team!

DeAsia was on the blue team with Hunter and Laney!

Lucy plays bocce ball very well!

Tanayry was on the yellow team with Enoch!

Great action shot Santoes!

Ms. Malcom and her wallflowers! Ha! Ha! We enjoyed ourselves too!

And the winner is.... the BLUE team!

Money Cheer!

Identifying coined money has been a struggle in our classroom! So... Mrs. Stowe came up with a cheer that would hopefully help our students learn how to identify the penny, nickel, dime, and quarter! I thought that this video was so cute! Turn of the playlist (to the right of the blog posts)and enjoy!

Following Directions!

On Tuesday, we made spider webs. However, not only did we make spider webs, we had to follow directions to make them! Ms. Malcom thought that it would be a good idea to put a large version of the directions on the ActivBoard. As a class we went through each direction, read them, completed them, and checked them off when we were finished. We learned a lot about following directions and created some beautiful spider webs!

First, we had to use glue to create the web. We had to make circles with the glue!

Then, we had to make straight lines with the glue!

We put glitter on the glue to make it extra pretty!

The last steps were to put a spider on our web and attach a pipe cleaner so that it could be hung at home!

Our spider webs were very beautiful!

Our students did a great job with this activity and seemed to enjoy it!
