Today we took the class on a field trip. I love field trips because of the depth of knowledge students develop in a short period of time. Today was History. It was thrilling to see all those little darlings enthusiastic about ephemera and artifacts. The museum does a splendid job engaging kids and then coaching the parents to back off and let the students discover on their own.
I did have one student set off alarms. I'm working on impulse issues with him. Aside from that, about 1/4 of the students had to be ferried back to the school to perform at an assembly.
This weekend is our annual pumpkin party. It is one the two major events we put on every year. The other is our New Years Day dinner. While the other is a small, expensive personal affair, this is the louder, noisier cousin. This is a large shin-dig with a trip to the pumpkin patch and carving back at the house. We'll be heading to Costco shortly to purchase goodies. It will be a fun mix of people, about 30 of them throughout the house and yards. We'll have food, drinks and power tools! All the fixin's of a great pumpkin carving party! :)
Conrad is doing well. He's still learning signs for things. He can now sign "cheese fish please!" And says, "Tank you!" when he gets them. So cool.... Its amazing what the brain can do!!
