It's A Beautiful Morning

It's a beautiful mornin', Ahhh,

It's a beautiful mornin' ahhh
I think I'll go outside a while
An jus' smile
Just take in some clean fresh air boy
 

Ain't no sense in stayin' inside
If the weather's fine an' you got the time

It's your chance to wake up and plan another brand new day

Either way
It's a beautiful mornin' ahhh

Each bird keeps singin' his own song
So long
I've got to be on my way now
Ain't no fun just hangin' around
I've got to cover ground you couldn't keep me down
It just ain't no good if the sun shines
When you're still inside
Shouldn't hide still inside shouldn't hide
Ahhhh oh shouldn't hide ah ah oh

 

 

Do do waaa do do waaa
There will be children with robins and flowers
Sunshine caresses each new waking hour
Seems to me that the people keep seeing
More and more each day gotta say lead the way
It's okay wednesday thursday it's okay
Ahhh monday wednesday friday weekday ah ah ohhh
Do do waaa

 

Ah ah oh oh do do aaaa

Wooooo oo oo oh oh oh ah wo do waa
Ohhhhhhh oh oh oh

Special Education: Ms. T's Class Our Week in Review First Week

Our Week in Review

8/3-7,  2020

We had an exciting first week online in school.

We greeted old friends, met new friends and

introduced ourselves to Ms. D and Ms. S, our

Instructional Assistants.

Our schedule this week:

8am Join Google Meet for Ms. T’s Class

Practice courtesy, using chat, and the mute button.

We also learned to take turns speaking and raising

our hands to ask or answer a question. Good Job Class!

8:42am Join Google Meet for PE

10:00am Return to Ms. T’s Google Meet

We had a nutrition break and talked about

healthy food.

This week while setting up, in this block we learned

about Google Meet Presentations, had two book

reads, and began to learn about our online program

Acellus.

We watched videos on cursive writing, a story from

ReadWorks, the science of water, and discussed the

uses of numbers.

Friday we had Fun Friday, much like last school year.

We chose music from YouTube for our class playlist,

and drew pictures and colored pages to share with

each other. We had show and tell and saw a student

crafted bracelet and home grown squash. HOW COOL!

Next week we will transition into Acellus Independent

Online Work during our 9:30-11:00 block.

Thank you, parents!

You are HEROES!
