During the month of October, we went out into the community. We went to Barnes & Noble Book Store, St. Charles Mall, and Cosco Nature Center. In November, we will have art partners with Ms. Pat. Our students are able to work on their social and communication skills with their friends from Walden Woods Elementary School through the engaging art activities. The class will be using our Weekly Reader “Let’s Find Out” magazines to explore Fall, Veterans Day and Thanksgiving. Our class has made great progress with communication skills, being a messenger to the office, and increasing play skills in the community.

Room 6 was busy in October with topics that included The
Interrupting Chicken and Babes in the Bayou. While in the
bayou, students sorted animal features of feathers versus
scales. In Scholastic News, Room 6 dove right in with
“What’s Orange and Bumpy?” and upper/lowercase letters.
Welcome to our room Miss Darlene!

Awwww -- the aroma of autumn leaves, wet or dry, and gazing at the array of colors creating beautiful
landscapes. Remember when you were a kid (or big kid) raking leaves into a pile, only to find
yourself diving into it, and blanketing yourself under the leaves. Take time to smell the leaves
and enjoy the season of Fall!
Room 9 had a busy month we enjoyed our Community Based Instruction (CBI) to Costco and
Wegman’s where the students were able to identify foods and match colors; we read a variety
of books to the students at Oxon Hill Library, as well as enjoyed a nice lunch at Flaming Grill
Buffet; the staff at Melwood Horticulture assisted the students with making beautiful fall
arrangements! Finally, the students and staff enjoyed our scavenger hunt at St. Charles Mall
and found a lot of cool stuff relating to the season and colors of the month.
Congratulations to our student of the month, Robert Jackson! October’s category was, “Good
Helper”. Robert helps the staff take the classroom attendance to office. He also takes the
lunch count to the cafeteria and helps the wheelchair students in transitioning to the other
classrooms. During C.B.I. trips Robert carries class’s C.B.I. bag.
Our students practiced tracing and identifying the letters of the month “D”,” E”, “F”; number of
the month “3”, shape of the month, “Square”, and color of the month, “Black and Orange”.
In Reading, the students read the following stories on News2You: “ Had a Bad Day”, “Native
American’s Day”,” World Series” , as well as read stories on Unique Learning: “ Who’s on Cam’s
Quarter?”, “George and the Cherry Tree”, “ Baseball Game”, and “Who is at the Baseball
Game”. The students also read the story, “The Apple Pie Tree”, an adapted book from the
Library Committee. After reading the stories, the students did a great job answering questions
on the computer using the interactive worksheets in the lesson. Good job guys!! We have also
discovered this year’s computer savvy students, Kayla and Robert – who are always eager to
lend a hand! J
In Math we worked on counting and cardinality.
All of our students our working hard in our new independent work stations.
We ended our month with a school-wide Fall Festival which included lots of games, hayride and
ended with movie and popcorn!

Wow, where did October go? So far we have been reading everything we could find
about fall, along with all the supplemental reading materials we use, like News-2-You (a
weekly newspaper), the Unique learning reading and our new Weekly Readers.
In Math we have been reviewing numbers, and measurement, (How long is the pencil?
How long is the crayon? Which one is longer?).
For Courageous Pacers we had to get 1 bat, cat, pumpkin item and race to the end of
the lane and place it on the cauldron.
For our 4 F’s activity was all kinds of football activities, the food to try was Tomatoes,
they seem to be a favorite for many!
In Science we have enjoyed some of our returning friends “Lilly & Rose the red eared
slider Turtles”, “Harry The Tortoise” "Ernie the bearded dragon" just to name a few.
We love to watch them eat and play.
Also a special thanks to those who have sent in canned goods for the "Kids Helping
Kids" food drive. The boxes filled up nicely and were a generous donation from
Tanglewood.
We enjoyed Ms. Robin’s Red Ribbon Week: Reminding us all to be safe and make
healthy choices.
Ms. Robin also arranged for the Clinton Volunteer Fire Department to come and give us
a special up-close and in person tour of the fire truck and talking about fire safety. The
Ladies Auxiliary brought us fire hats and stickers too!! Thank you Ms. Robin!
The Fall Festival was Fantastic, Many Thanks to Mr. Lowe and Kevin Lowe for being
loyal to Tanglewood and bringing the hayride to us. It is always so much FUN. Thank
you to all who helped make the Fall Festival a hit. It is always a great day. We had
many sightings of favorite cartoon characters for the parade.
It's that time again ALT-MSA is under way. The objectives have been selected for
student Alt-MSA Portfolios. We will keep you posted on our progress.
