Community Exploration: Picayune TV

 
Today staff and students of the Transition Training Facility went to a local media outlet called Victory Publishing, which produces the newspapers River Cities Tribune, The Picayune and multimedia component called PicayuneTV. Students had a chance to meet the Editor of both newspapers and to also explore the set of Picayune TV. They had a great time playing with the prompts and one student really got into the reporting aspect.
This was such a wonderful experience for our students and we look forward to doing more things with Victory Publishing in the coming months and years.

It's happening!

Today was our ground breaking for the Transition Training Facility. Our house is already taking shape and we're so excited to watch this process unfold. Thanks to everyone who came out today!

Thanksgiving Luncheon

The students took time out of their day to write their list of Top 10 Things to be Thankful For....they were very sweet and funny!

 Since we are trying to find new and inexpensive ways to decorate, we decided to make tablecloths from butcher paper and decorate them with various things and sayings.

Our awesome interim Superintendent and Special Services Director surprised us by coming to the feast. We are so fortunate to have such a wonderful support team at MFISD!

 Lunch with parents was so much fun! It's nice to have them in the room and observing their adult students hard at work!

One of the best parts of Thanksgiving is the leftovers! I am so proud of all my student chefs today for the love and dedication they put into making this luncheon a success!


Happy Thanksgiving to all of our wonderful friends, family and neighbors. We hope you feel as blessed as we are and thankful for the many gifts we have be given.

Funday Friday: Wimberley Glass Works

Making a vase- approximately half-way through the process at this point.

The pit area where the magic is created. Such a neat place to visit!

Our trip to Wimberley Glass Works was nothing short of amazing to say the least. We were able to sit in and watch a glob of hot, liquid material be molded into a beautful vase.

Cooking lesson: How to make flour tortillas

One of my awesome class parents offered to come up and show my students how to make flour tortillas. It was an awesome activity that everyone enjoyed participating in and also consuming! We'll be having her back soon to teach us how to make many other tranditional mexican dishes.
