  Hello Families! This week we read the story: which was embedded with picture symbols to help aide and reinforce comprehension and new vocabulary! This week we did our vocabulary page, sorting by fall weather, making our OWN adapted book & comprehension check ins! We also completed our "About Me" poster for open house! We worked on our fine motor skills, placing objects within a specific boundary, identification or colors/concepts, and being able to share with friends what makes them special!    This upcoming week we'll be learning about leaves and participating in fun fall activities! Don't forget Wednesday the 29th is picture day! Have a great day! Miss Feeley

The story focused on the different activities that you do during the school day. The students also practiced answering questions using picture symbols and identifying pictures that are the "same". This is something we'll build off of once the students understand the expectation.  Each morning we do a classroom morning meeting together. We focus on communication and working in our adapted binders to answer questions. I present a slideshow presentation on our whiteboard that contains Boardmaker picture symbols and fun educational videos incorporated. Here's some great shots of the students in acti...
