END OF THE YEAR PROJECT
In order to get introduced to new technologies, learn more about ourselves, and develop and practice the skills we learn all year, I like to do at least one “project” with the students this time of year!
Last year we created a voice thread (check it out on our blog) of what we were proud of from the 2009/2010 school year.
As we work on our projects we are learning more about our disabilities, our strengths, and ourselves if there is anything you would like us to talk about or celebrate please let Ms. Rose know!

FIELD TRIPS/ SPECIAL EVENTS
There are lots of field trips and special events towards the end of they year, please look out for permission slips! - Don’t forget to check your child’s class email or newsletter.

NEXT YEAR
We are working diligently to put together teachers for next year, as we understand the importance of having our “ROCKSTARS” have transition time, social stories, and time to process large changes such as a new teacher. Additionally, I am working on scheduling a date for our meet and greet for the 2011/2012 school year.


SUMMER PLANNING
I know lots of you are already getting together your summer schedules. Please let me know if you have any questions.
• You will be getting a packet of recommendations of items to work on over the summer.
• If you need me to do any training with new tutors or family members let me know and we can set something up.
