"For this year, the Special Olympics is scheduled to happen on January 15th at 7pm in the Issaquah main gym. As one of the coordinators, I was wondering if the LRC2 class at IVE would be willing to attend this event to support the basketball players and show their school spirit? We are thinking of planning a tailgate before the game with pizza and a fun environment to bond with each other. Thank you!" IF YOU WOULD LIKE TO ATTEND, PLEASE LET ME KNOW! A HUGE THANK YOU to Mrs. Azlin for supporting our Around The World Holidays with a gingerbread house craft, that she prepared for each one of our students. All of the principals, the OT, SLP, school psychologist and others, stopped by and in awe of how excited the students were while making their houses! Pictures coming home soon! :) Reminder: 12/20/19: Last day of school before break 1/6/20: School resumes Wishing you ALL a very happy, restful and safe holiday season! Happy New Year! 12/11/19 Dear Families, It was so wonderful to have time to share your children's strengths and progress, as well as getting to know you better, during conferences! Hard to believe three months have already passed! This month we are focusing on Holidays Around the World. In an email earlier this month, I had asked for volunteers to come in and share a holiday tradition. So far, we have ONE volunteer who will be making gingerbread houses and reading a story about The Gingerbread Man with the kids. She will be here on 12/16/19. We are so excited! Following that activity, we are hoping to make gingerbread men. One may even become lost in the school - prompting a gingerbread man scavenger hunt! PLEASE let me know if you are still interested in participating on another day! Students continue to work on all of their individual goals on a daily basis. We are working hard on learning to regulate emotions in a calm way. Trying to determine if our problems are little or big, with visuals. We are also working hard on sharing materials and toys, having safe hands and bodies, following schedules and adult directions, as well as walking in a line, and learning the meaning of flexibility. *A huge life skill for our students is learning that sometimes we do not always get something exactly when we want it. Children are making some nice gains on navigating through their days with the new visual schedule books. Academically, your students continue to work on their IEP goals. Please practice, practice, practice at home. We are working on calendar each day, too. We talk about the weather, the month, day and year as well as practice math and literacy with some favorite videos. We practice counting our days, count to favorite days (i.e. birthdays, days off until winter break, etc.). We have also been working on spelling color words to a song. I have seen some of the students generalize skills and are now able to spell color words during writing activities! WHAT: Last day of school: December 20th, 2019. School resumes: January 6, 2020. I wish you all a very safe and happy holiday season with your family and friends!
