Holiday Dinner Dance

Last Friday, we had our annual dinner dance at school. Our dinner dance raises money for our program and is a fun event that we look forward to every year. This year, we sold caramel popcorn, holiday cards that we made in our cardmaking class, and doggy treat bags. 

This is what the Blogging group has to say about the Dinner Dance: 

Courtney - We listened to Taylor Swift and had lasagna for dinner. 

Erin - I sang "Happy" by Pharell Williams that I practiced. I danced with my friend, James. 

David - I was sick but my ILS worker said my classmates were singing the YMCA. 

Alexis - We danced to a Bruno Mars song. 

Sarah - I danced the tango with my boyfriend. 

Monique - I didn't come to the dance but I helped decorate the room for the dance. I heard they had salad, lemonade, coffee, and cake at the dance. 

Rachele - I wasn't able to go to the dance but I can't wait for next year! 

Stay tuned for pictures!

We're Back!

Classes have started up again! So far this year, we have voted for our new class officers, we started going to the YMCA, we got brand new tablets, and started up our old classes like Arts and Crafts, Science and Nature, and Book Club.

In Blogging class this year, we are creating our own blogs but we will still be updating our class blog.

Somewhere over the Rainbow

This is our last blog post for the summer. We voted on writing about our dream jobs. We'll see you in the fall. 

Rachele: I would want to be a tutor for young kids or disabled people. I want to help people learn new things that they don't know how to do, like read, write, or work on the computer. 

David: Someday, I want to own a cat and dog training program. I would train the dogs to obey their owners and train the cats to come when called. 

Steve: One of my dream jobs would be to become a Master Photographer. I would share my work with the world. 

Erin: I want to be a filmmaker. I want to draw pictures and make them into a fictional cartoon movie based on Unico Gift Book Vol. 3, my favorite book. 

Alexis: I want to sew quilts and sell them overseas to people in need, like babies. 

Lizanne: I would be a dog groomer because I love dogs. I would wash them, dry them, and put a bow in their hair. 

Jennifer: I want to be a church group leader so that I can help my friends with God stuff. 

Nicole: My dream job is to work at an animal shelter so that I can help rescue animals. I would walk them, play with them, and bathe them. 

Julia: I would want to be a director. I have been writing the story since 2006. It's called "The Hero Brothers." The main characters are called Sajo & Fytro.
