January 2007 Visit to Miami MetroZoo
In January we visited Miami MetroZoo. The weather was wonderful, and the students enjoyed the outdoors. We were all especially excited about the new experience available at the zoo. For a couple of dollars, people can feed the giraffes. Some of our students were a bit hesitant, but with some help, they all fed the giraffes. It gave them an opportunity to see an animal up close and personal. Where would they ever be able to see giraffe "eye to eye". Don't miss this great opportunity. In class we spent time learning about the animals we would see, and prepared all the manipulatives, worksheets, pictures. For a great resource/unit check out www.learningpage.com. You can find math worksheets, reading and writing for our students of all functioning levels.

Dollars @ Work at Dolphin Mall
"Kudos" to Dolphin Mall's HAPPY BURGER located at the food court. We have been visiting the mall since last school year and have found tremendous cooperation from the employees at Happy Burger. In addition to affordable combos, the cashier and cook are very patient with our students. We have practiced our ordering skills, paying skills, and the set up is very user friendly. For our non-verbal students, being able to "see" toppings and condiments enable them to to use gestures, signs, and pictures to select the right toppings. The ketchup, napkins, etc., are all set up for self-service. It is no wonder it is one of our favorite spots to eat. So, stop by on your next outing to Dolphin Mall and visit the friendly folks at HAPPY BURGER! ( and ....no, this is not a paid advertisement!)
