Halloween Celebration!



November 7, 2018

Hello Families and Friends!

What a busy few weeks its been here in ISE! I wanted to share with you the AMAZING afternoon that the 5th graders, their teacher, Mrs. Elefsiades and Mr. Connell planned for us on Halloween. 

They planned and ran each of the centers throughout the gym for our students!

 
This center is called "Pop & Find Pumpkins"- the kids had to push their hands through and break the tissue paper to find the "prizes" inside!
   




    
This center was called "Ring Around the Witch's Hat"

       
Dress Up & Freeze Dancing!

     



   
Read Aloud, Sensory Bins & Life-sized Board Game
       

  
Make a Mummy!!
  
Needless to say we had an AMAZING Halloween celebration! Our own Room 1 Halloween Fun will be posted in a few days too!

 Have a great night!

 Miss Feeley

The Butterfly Life Cycle

Image
Hello Families and Friends! Last week we read about the butterfly life cycle! We read a story, completed a vocabulary activity, then sorted butterflies, cocoons and caterpillars, made a life cycle wheel, an adapted book and then did a comprehension check-in. The students did an excellent job learning about this new information.                   We also completed a Scholastic News article "When a Rainbow Shines". The students were very engaged in the article and used their individualized communication boards and systems to be able to identify the two things needed to make a rainbow: water & sun. Some friends used objects while learning to represent the sun, water and rainbows!       Reminders:  Thursday March 21st the school will be celebrating World Down Syndrome Day! We are celebrating our friend Tyler by wearing crazy socks and showing our love, support and...

Pumpkin Fun!

Image
  Hello Families! We had an awesome week and started our pumpkin unit in celebration of Halloween! We read a story all about pumpkins and learned when they grow, who grows them and the different parts of a pumpkin. Together we did a vocabulary activity, sorting activity, counting book, explored the inside of a pumpkin and did a fun craft together! They all loved being able to explore the different sized pumpkins while we read to make real life connections to our book! Below our friends are working on sorting by size, color and their vocabulary pages! They did a great job with their counting book- we practiced following one step directions, 1:1 correspondence, number ID, writing numbers, cutting and gluing.  On Wednesday we explored the inside of a pumpkin! Everyone explored the pulp and seeds. Some friends enjoyed the different textures while others didn't, however everyone did a great job quickly exploring and touching.  We used the seeds from our pumpkin to create a fun...

There Was an Old Lady Who Swallowed Some Leaves!

Hello Families! This week we read the story "There Was An Old Lady Who Swallowed Some Leaves". I created our own "old lady" to feed the different objects to. The students practiced identifying vocabulary, working on the core word "in", and following simple one step directions. We completed our vocabulary activity, made our own adapted book and completed an emergent reader about leaves to connect with our story.    On Monday there was a fire safety assembly and we were able to see a real fire truck too! We've officially started our classroom jobs! These are done daily, each child has the same job for the whole week so that they can master that specific skill set before moving onto the next job. Here's our hard workers in action!! To wrap up our fun Friday, we did a Scholastic News titled "Cooking Up Safety". It was about being safe around hot objects. It was a great lesson for life skills to learn what is safe or not safe to touch.  Next w...
