K's Day....

Hello,
This is Kaylea and I had a really good day today. Today our class went shopping at Target for Valentine's day items for our photo booth we are going to have here at school for all the students and staff to take pictures. It will also help us raise funds for our program.
I had lunch with my class at Moe's. I had chicken taco salad, "It was yummy in my tummy!"
In class we discussed about our state government and how it affect us.
I had a really great time today.

IHS Goes to Washington....Not quite....TN Capitol

On January 28, 2014 IHS Transition II students and staff will spend the day at Tennessee Capitol building . They will represent WCS at the TN State Legislature and get the opportunity to see our state leaders in action. Students will be able to see how bills become laws. Also, students that attend will have a time to meet with our local represenatives and ask them questions that relate to their concerns and needs towards a better life.

Nila and Jose having a good time coming up with questions

Currently, our students are brainstorming in class on possible questions that they would like to ask our Senators and Representatives. Some of the areas that they are currently working on our transportation, housing, job placements opportunities, education, etc. Discussions have led to more understanding about how our government works for the betterment of its citizens. Plus, it has allowed our students the opportunity to express their concerns and dreams for their future. Each day that we practice and learn more about our government, the more they are getting excited to attend this special day.

Tractor Supply - 1/16/14

 Today our IHS Transition II students went out into the local community to a couple of job sites. One of those sites was Tractor Supply Co in Thompson's Station, TN. Three of our students; Nila, Kaylea, and Jose really enjoy going to work here a couple of days a week. They dust, stock, and organize the clothes.

Each student is given a section to make sure they place the clothes in the correct size order and style. Then they separate the clothes on the rack to make the racks look nice. Jose's favorite thing is to place the boots in order on the shelves. Today the students organized the toy racks as well. All the little toys were put in place according to the labels on the shelves. The labels had the price and picture of each animal, car, truck, tractor, etc.

This store really appreciates the hard work that each of these students do each time they come. It's a great store and has just about everything you need.

My Not So Bad Day

This morning I was thinking about running away.
On the bus I got so upset I threw up.
I asked the bus driver to call 911.
When I got to school I went to the nurse and then I laid down.
I spoke to my teacher and Mrs. Anton, my principal.
Then I made a good choice.
I got up off the ground and said "I am done."
I didn't need to be by myself anymore.
I came in to class.
I started drawing and spent my day with my teacher.
Now I am happy.

This morning, I realized my family wouldn't like how I was acting.
Now I get to go home and know my family will be happy to see my face.
