We would like to open up a new center in our room, however, we need some help.
We would like it to be a "house" center. I have some playfood that I bought at Target for 10 dollars. We will be purchasing a kitchen (unless someone has one and would like to donate it!). In addition, we're looking for play plates, silverware, cups, pots, pans, etc for kitchen (and any other playfood that you might want to donate). Also, we're looking for dolls, specifically a baby doll. In case you are wondering about the center and why we're looking to do it, is we're teaching responsibility and different places that we can have it. So, we're going to teach about cooking, cleaning, etc. We're also trying to teach independent skills (that might even help at home) like setting the table, clearing the table, etc. So, any help in those things would be appreciated!
I'm ALMOST done with the book. I've gotten distracted by things like sleeping so it'll be in circulation on Monday. It's going home with Patrick first but anyone who would like to borrow it after that is more than welcome.
Interims for first quarter go home on Monday. Or, as I look at it, 1/8 of school is already over! PHEW that time went fast! Please sign them and return them on Tuesday. If you'd like to talk about anything that is on there, please email me, call me, or set up a conference time. EVERYONE has things "that need work" on their interim. No one is exceptional at everything and so those are just some things in case you were wondering what you could be working on at home should you want to.
Remember, no school for students on Monday October 13th.
The school rules this year are:
Personal best everyday
All things to myself
Watch and listen to the speaker
Soft voices inside
We are really focusing on the Watch part these days. We're finding that some of our friends when they don't give eye contact aren't listening either. While I don't always stress eye contact because I know that for children with Autism it's difficult, but they do have to listen and I'm finding when they aren't looking, they aren't listening.
That's everything for now! Hope you have a great weekend!

I will send a check to Melanie for 20.00 for whatever you need. She should get it next week.
I can donate several things on your list; play food, fruits, & vegetables; small set of play plates, utensils, pots & pans; a shopping cart; baby dolls with clothes and a doll changing table if you want. Gabrielle
I am picking up a play kitchen tomorrow from a freecycler! Let me know when is a good time to bring it by.
You are all amazing!
Who needs a budget when we have amazing families!
Thank you to all of you from the bottom of my heart! You are all more than invited to be "customers" as the boys would call you in their "restaurant/bake sale"!
