Happy Friday Families!

On Saturday, October 21st we are pleased to announce our Electives Showcase! This is an evening event that is listed in the syllabus for each electives class. Students in the Spanish classes will be singing, dancing and setting up a photo booth. ASL students will be signing some songs. and the students in dance, yoga and choir will also be performing. Miss Tomasek’s students will be displaying their amazing artwork and Mr. Ramos will be leading his advanced culinary and bakery students in providing world class hors d’ oeuvres! This is a marvelous opportunity to witness first hand what your child is learning in the classroom and see the progress that they are making this year. Preparation and learning for the Electives Showcase is tied to the curriculum being taught in class and to the World Language Standards. As this is performance based students are required to attend. Again, think Family Fun Night! The fun will begin at 5:00 pm with hors d’ oeuvres and interactive entertainment (statuettes, photo booth, mariachi music, small groups etc.) and then the program will begin at 6 p.m.

ASL 1: This week in class students presented their All About Me Projects. It was fun getting to know students, their families and their interests and hobbies. Students were allowed to come up and present with a friend to give them confidence and moral support. I was pleased with how well the students did. Students also practiced more fingerspelling and receptive fingerspelling as well. Next week students will complete more fingerspelling practice and begin Lesson 1.

ASL 2: This week in class students completed Country Sentences 1-5 and Lesson 31 in ASL University. Next week students will complete Country Sentences 6-10 and Lesson 32 in ASL University.
