New News:

My students have taken over the task of sorting and delivering the weekly CCIS newsletter! Today was our first day and they did a great job!  I feel this will be a great job for the students each week!

The kids had a great time at Berkots this past Thursday!  They were wonderful little shoppers and go everything we needed for our “good-bye” party on Friday and for upcoming cooking days! :)

Expected and Unexpected Behavior

One of the next steps in our new Social Thinking curriculum is talking about Expected and Unexpected Behaviors.

Expected behaviors make others feel good about you.
Unexpected behaviors make others uncomfortable towards you.

Today (9/17/14) the students made a poster showing Expected and Unexpected Behaviors.
