Week of March 1-5
Last week was great because we had mostly all of our students and all our days of school! We were really able to focus on writing paragraphs and reading our books in literacy class. We also focused on learning about plants and animals in science class and in social studies class. In ASL class we started to work on role-shifting for telling stories that include 2 people. We practiced with a funny story about Katy and Kelly!
Nicole came in on Wednesday to talk to us about the tragedy at Deer Creek Middle School. We practiced our safety drills in the morning and Nicole reviewed why it is important to follow the rules and help keep our school safe. Some of us were a little scared and concerned but Nicole helped make us feel better. We are all thinking about those affected by Tuesday’s events.
On Friday we celebrated the 2 week birthdays of Cocoa and Bella, our 2 chicks, as they are getting much bigger now! We wrote thank you notes to Farmer Dallas and played with the chicks to give them exercise. We will miss them when they are gone next week!
Week of Feb. 22-26
What a week last week! We had a short week again because of the holiday and we were all excited to talk about our adventures! Nicole came in to talk with us about Kindness Week and how we can care about the people in our lives.
We also helped to take care of our newely hatched chicks. The whole school was curious to see how many hatched and how they popped through their egg shells. We saw pictures that Katy took over the weekend and from when she went to the farm. It has been great fun looking at how small and cute the chicks are! Now we have to learn about taking care of them, especially when they get dirty!
Our homework for next week:
Week of Feb. 15-19
Last week we had a short week due to the President’s holiday! We started it off by reading aloud a new chapter book called “Pippi Longstocking”. We all think that Pippi is very funny! We are also looking forward to when our chicken eggs will hatch! Nicole came in to talk to us about being silly in class and how to respect each other, the teachers, and the school. We also started learning in ASL class about subject/predicate and how to tell which part of a statement is missing. We had great fun doing ASL activities!
On Friday we watched an assembly from a woman named Heidi. She is the first Deaf woman to successfully climb many of the world’s highest mountain peaks. She explained how she did it and about some of the equipment she needs to use. We were all fascinated by her accomplishments!

It was a great week in our class last week. We also had many people stay home sick, including Katy who was out for 4 whole days! We are trying our best to keep ourselves clean and healthy so we keep coming to school!
The biggest change in our classroom was the addition of 18 chicken eggs in our school’s incubator! We are learning about animal habitats in science and what better way to see how chickens live than hatch some baby chicks right here in class! The whole school is getting involved, but we are responsible for keeping a close eye on the eggs. We are learning how to care for living things and also trivia about chickens everyday. We can’t wait for them to hatch!
We celebrated D’Quarius’ birthday on Friday!
