This past week without the beauty of pictures

February 24, 2012
Just a quick note, my computer is at home today, so as I update this weeks work I cannot upload the pictures to accompany the work, but I will do that on Monday.

We had a great week but a funny one.  No Strive Next Step on Monday made for a short week and Tim was in NH visiting family so we really missed his smiling face as well.  That being said this week we worked on money in the form of menus and ordering and how much eating out for one day would cost us.  We visited the library and walked ...

Overall week

February 17, 2012
We had a great week. We got lots of good work done, had art, went to the Root Cellar, made our Friday lunch, some went out to lunch, started learning how to boogie and worked on rounding numbers when shopping.  Everyone did a great job, we had wonderful teamwork and support of our fellow attendees and Rory and I both think it was a wonderful and positive week.

Don't forget no program on Monday, so we will see everyone on Tuesday or Wednesday!

Enjoy your weekend.

Practicing our phone skills

February 17, 2012
Friday morning we practiced our phone skills in a role playing exercise.  There was a caller and a receiver, each with a role to play, either giving directions or having to write down the directions, ordering lunch, giving an email address... etc.  They did a great job, using the phone is much more complicated than we thought.
