Last week, the students made quesadillas, cheese dip, and scotcharoos. The students played soccer in PE. We worked on money skills in Math class. We learned about hurricanes and their names and how they form. We also learned about Patriots Day and did some activities on 9-11.
We sold cookies on Friday the 13th. We also got our new Year 13 shirts! We have extra shirts available in sizes large and extra large for $20. This week, the students went to KMart and bought new classroom games and puzzles. Mrs. Lahrs treated the students to some chocolate candy! :) The students played flag football in PE at Briar Cliff. The Briar Cliff softball girls also ate lunch with the students. Some students worked this week. Some students went to support Special Olympics at Buffalo Wild Wings. Tomorrow we are working on our first special order of cookies for WITCC. We are selling Younkers Community Day event coupon books!! You can purchase these online at this link: http://bit.ly/169oJla The coupon books are good to use at Younkers during their community day event in November 2013. They are $5.00 and proceeds go to our program for activities and classroom supplies we use. THANKS FOR THE SUPPORT!!! Students need to sell at least 5 coupon books to participate in a reward pizza party event. Money raised helps us to be able to pay for activities for the students such as movies, eating out in the community, or bowling. Students receive gift cards for the coupon books that they sell. For example, a student who sells 5 coupon books will receive a $5 gift card to the place of their choice. We will also have a prize for a top seller!
On Friday we sold cookies for the first time. One group went with Mr. Sage to WITCC to sell. We ordered our shirts and they should be here next week! On Tuesday, half of the class went to Briar Cliff for their first P.E. class and the other half stayed and made bacon cheeseburgers, steak fries, and brownies. Tomorrow will be another full day with selling cookies! Several of our students went to Noah's Hope Thrift store to volunteer this week. They folded clothes and did some dusting. Some of the students went to Briar Cliff for PE. We also had a group go to HyVee on Gordon Drive. We also got to go to Irving Preschool and saw some cute children! We learned some fun phrases from the preschoolers and participated in an activities with them. We will be practicing our cookie routes for selling tomorrow.
We started the new school year out very well. We got to meet new friends. We will begin cookie sales on Friday, the 30th of August. We also designed our new t-shirts and will be ordering those very soon. We also had a group go to Briar Cliff for their first trip there to see the campus. Some of the students also started their jobs at their work sites. Students also got to go shopping for classroom supplies. We look forward to many events this year.
