Welcome to the 2011-2012 school year!

Happy Fall!

It has been a very exciting and busy year so far!  We started the year by going on a field trip to buy fish for our aquarium.  Each student chose two fish and carefully put them in the aquarium.  We looked at all the different animals at the pet store. 

Students have been working hard on the ASL poems for the Deaf Children’s Festival on September 27.  The poems focus on the various locations of signs which are identified through colors: red is the forehead area, orange is around the mouth and chin, yellow is the chest, green is when the dominant hand touches the other hand or the arm, and blue is when a sign is in the air.  Examples of each are as follows: Red=DAD, Orange= MOM, Yellow= MY, Green=SCHOOL, Blue=PLAY.

During Science students are learning about plants.  We have discussed parts of plants and what function they serve; roots and stem carry water for the plant and leaves get food from the sun.  Students are also learning about what plants need in order to survive: soil, water, air and light.
