This school year, the students in our classroom will continue to work on increasing their overall functional academic skills. During our school day, the students will be exposed to reading, math, science, and history classes. In reading, we have been working on the News to You Series, the PCI sight word program, and the Edmark functional word program. In math, we have begun a money unit with the emphasis on recognizing various coins and bills, and rounding up to the next highest dollar when making purchases in the classroom, lunch room, and the community. In science, we have begun a unit on exercise and will be discussing the importance of exercise, labeling parts of the human body, and exposing students to vocabulary words/pictures related to exercise. In history, we have started a unit on community helpers and will be discussing various people who work in and around our school and the local community.
