Amerks visit

Last week the Rochester Americans came to take on the staff of Holy Childhood in a friendly floor hockey game. Mr. P played for Holy Childhood and they beat the Amerks!

For Tuesday ADL days we have made: sandwiches, pasta, and a chef's salad. The students are enjoying the experience of creating the shopping list, independently shopping, and making their own lunch.

We have gone to the Henrietta Library where some students have received library cards and checked out books. We have also made a trip to AC Moore to shop for materials to use for our Thanksgiving craft.

Here is a picture of our craft and some from when the Amerks came. Enjoy!

1st Quarter

Hello Blog World! Wow is this school year going by extremely fast. Here is a quick recap of what has been happening: we have been spending Tuesdays learning how to budget, create shopping lists, shop, create a meal, clean our mess, search for community activities, go to the public library, and many other activities. In Science class we have been learning about space: the big bang, the creation/make up of Earth, and now the Sun. In Math we have been working on graphing and budgeting. We have a transition class this year where we are learning about how to be involved in planning our IEP. I hope this is a good start to what we have been doing. Have a great week!

A New Beginning

Welcome to the beginning of what I have decided is going to be a great year. If you enter with high expectations and a positive attitude, you will always be rewarded with success. We have a great class and I am looking forward to this year. We are currently working on a few introductory projects, which I will post pictures of when they are completed next week. Here is a picture of our class from the first week!

End of Summer School

This is the end of summer school and it feels like we just started. Thank you to all the parents and students for a great summer. We have gone to a Red Wings game, the Rochester Memorial Art Gallery, The Beale restaurant. We have had a science fair, read 7 books, and completed a 5 week in-school work program. Hope everyone has a great 2 weeks off and we are looking forward to another great school year!

Scavenger Hunt

For the second straight year Mr. P's class has won the Holy Childhood Scavenger Hunt! This year the obstacles focused on healthy choices and heart healthy exercise. The students had a blast!

Mardi Gras and a Trip

This week we studied Mardi Gras (Fat Tuesday) and its traditions in New Orleans. We also took a trip to the Rochester Memorial Art Gallery.

Week 4

Last Thursday we went to the Red Wings game! They were winning when we left, but ended up losing. We all still had a great time at Frontier Field.

This week we are learning about Mardis Gras and its origins. We made King Cakes on Monday, a classic Mardis Gras dessert. We will be making Mardis Gras masks this Friday morning.

Also on Friday we will be going to the Rochester Memorial Art Gallery. While there we will be viewing the exhibit on American artwork depicting America throughout the centuries.

Summer school is almost over. (yikes!)
