Time in Flying

Hello everyone,

We had an absolutely wonderful time at the Nature Museum last week. Pictures will be posted very soon. It was a beautiful day outside. The museum exhibits were fun, enticing and of course just perfect for the concepts we've been learning about. Every way we turned we saw a different student with a smile on his/her face as they looked at something new. :)

This week Thursday there is a Best Buddies Activity Meeting. That means we stay from 3:30-5:00. We'll be having a Wii Tournament and Game Room. (Always a favorite).

The Thanksgiving Feast is a tradition for the DD/DLP program. We go all out and cook a Thanksgiving Feast for the staff members. We write and send out invitations, we plan the menu, make a grocery list, go shopping and of course cook everything. Today we sent home a letter asking if you'd share your traditional dish recipes with us. The students made us hungry today talking about all their delicious favorites. The Feast is on November 23 during the lunch periods. (4, 5, and 6)

If you have questions or concerns please feel free to contact Ms. Diehl or Ms. Kripton.

Up-Coming Events/Dates

Hello Everyone! Happy Halloween!

We had an absolutely wonderful Halloween celebration. The student's in costumes looked terrific! The Best Buddies dance was super successful. The students were smiling, dancing, singing and chatting away with their friends. We can't wait to hear how the Halloween weekend went.

In 2 weeks we will be heading to the Peggy Notebaert Nature Museum. We will be sending home permission slips later this week.

We are off this Friday because of Veteran's Day.

If you have any questions or concerns please contact Ms. Diehl or Ms. Kripton.
