Mrs. Gonet

Life Skills is a combination of academics and practical life skills. Students work with a modified curriculum in reading, math, science, social studies, and spelling. Life Skills instruction includes skill work such as time, money, and cooking. Our class also frequently visits the community to practice life skills.

COOKING CLASS

Mrs. Gonet's class frequently works with student partners from the mainstreamed classes. They join us for all kinds of activities in and out of the classroom. It is a very good way for all the students to get to know each other. Two of the activities that student partners assisted with are making gingerbread houses and cooking.

Shop Class

The first 12 weeks of school Mrs. Gonet’s class participated in Technology class. The first 9 weeks they worked on computer modules learning about construction, aviation, and graphic design. They created bridges, cars, planes, and mouse pads. The last 3 weeks they worked in the traditional shop creating a peg game or picture frame.

Bowling
Twice a month Mrs. Gonet’s class goes bowling at Concordia Lanes. We practice community skills, money skills, math, and have a good time!

Severson Dells
In Science class we have been studying the forest. We went to explore the forest at Severson Dells where we learned about plant and animal adaptations, camouflage, seeds, nuts, and animal tracks. We saw and heard many types of wildlife. We also scored very well on our low waste lunch.
