Mrs. Clemen's Life Skills Class
What we did in October
Community Mobility
Every week we go on the school bus somewhere in the community to work on things we learn at school. In October we went to Target, Wal-Mart, and Hy-Vee to get supplies and ingredients for our recipes. We also went to the Humane Society. They taught us how to take care of cats and dogs. They also gave us a tour of their brand new building.
Special Olympic Bowling
Colin went bowling in Davenport with the Jefferson and Roosevelt Special Olympic teams. We took a Tri-State Tours bus. We ate at McDonald's on the way home. It was fun.

In October we made some great recipes. We made Quesadillas, Ravioli, Pizza, and Pita Sandwiches. We took turns getting the materials out and following the directions. We enjoyed eating them!

Wrigley
Wrigley is our Pet Therapy dog at Jefferson. He usually comes on Fridays. He goes to many classrooms throughout the day. He comes to our class during Vocational class. He is fun to have in class. He lets us pet him and he makes us laugh.
Vocational Jobs
We do a lot of jobs at Jefferson. We recycle on Tuesdays and Wednesdays. We do jobs for Tri-State Surgery like filling envelopes and putting stickers on folders. We usually do that on Mondays and Thursdays. We also fill teacher supply orders for teachers with things like markers, paperclips, paper, folders. We deliver the items to their room. We have Voc. Store on Fridays. We get a pay check and get to buy something from the classroom store.

Humane Society
We went to the humane society. It was a new building. We saw lots of dogs, cats, a bird and a rabbit. We got to pet a dog named Lady J. She was very nice. Courtney gave us a tour and told us how to care for pets. We enjoyed our visit at the Humane Society.
