I like taking classes every Tuesday at Pace. My favorite class was

Fit Club, Nutrition Facts & Food Portion, Music Management,

Gender Roles, Safe Advocacy, Team Building, Planet Earth, Drama

Workshop, Music and Movement, Social Media, and many more.

I’m teaching myself to be more independent and comfortable with

myself. My teacher Sheri always helps me. My parents are so

proud of me because I always do my homework and study very

hard. I loved dancing with my teachers and friends during Summer

Classes.

Today at Pace, Mish, a student with the SLC, asked the class a question.

The question was "Why do you like coming to the SLC?"

These were some of the students answers:

Lee- "It's like going to college"

JP - "I have nothing to do at home"

Mish -"To get out od my program and to get a higher education"

Christian - "Indiana State has no openings"

Gabe - "It's good to get accustomed to college"

Lindsey - "It was the best option for me that I thought that I would enjoy"

Jasen (AMP) - "To hang out with great people"

Everyone also said that slc classes are a great place to meet new people!

Summer at Pace!

The following quotes were given by students describing their experiences in taking Summer classes at Pace with us:

" I enjoy the people I have class with. " - JP and Christian

" I liked using the pastels in Creative Art class when we did self portriats." -Raymond

" I really like the Skill Building class because it's teaching me things I did not know before like adding tips to bills " - Mike

"The music class is my favorite because I get to bring in my drum and play a beat along to the songs."  - Jordan

" I think that everyone can play music that they enjoy so that it's always fun " - Fallon

(At the end of Music class the students are given the option of sharing any music on the computer that they enjoy listening to. There is such a variety of music genre's that the students listen to that the end of class is like a dance party!)

" I like that we get to chill out all the time. " - Ernel 

" When we went outside to take pictures, that was fun. " - Jeffery

Summer 2012

On July 8th, I came home from Hershey Park! My mom, dad and I went with four of my cousins. They're names are Madison, Jordyn, Randi and Steven. We went on a lot of rides and it was super fun. I have been taking classes at Pace - Songs of the Summer, Skill Building, and Creative Art. I have classs with some of my friends whose names are Nicole, Joanna, Same and Jordan. I just met Jordan and I found out that we have some of the same friends. This Summer has been really fun so far!

Lisa is good teacher. She makes sure that we eat protien everyday in food or in shakes. She tells us to work out and I like to play football. Coach Mike is my coach for football at Somers school and he helps me stay healthy. Fit club was my favorite class!

-Adam S.

In Music Management class we were talking about Spiderman the musical. I love Spiderman because he is so cool and he can shoot webs!

-Jenna L.

I like the Music Management class because all of my friends are here and I made new friends too. I want to come back to take classes. I'm interested in learning more about music because I love to listen to it. Lisa always helps me understand in class while we have fun. I want to come back to study with Lisa's class again. She would also be proud to see me eating healthy everyday. The Pace campus is also very comfortable to me, so I will definitely come back.

-Jose M. 

A veiw from Sheri:

I had to teach both of Georgettes Glee classes yesterday and I was nervous. I decided to let the students teach me instead, boy was I surprised. Matt, Michelle, and Marjan taught the first class - they did amazing! All the students in the second class were able to teach me about notes, staffs, breathing, and warming up! I am so proud of all the students who take classes with the SLC.
-Sheri C.

Today was the last day of classes and today in Glee Michele and Matt taught and it was crazy.  I liked the classes and people are cool here. And I will come back.
-Lindsey S. 

Today, March 13th, 2012 was the last day of class. I enjoyed myself this semester. We learned about a lot of different things, I cant wait until next semester. Sheri did a great job of teaching us!

 

Thank You,

"Mac" H.

Voter Registration

• Today is Tuesday March 6th Year 2012  
• Today I went around with Emily & Caitlin Kelly to ask if everyone was a registered voter. I aksed 15 students & found that 4 were not sure if they were or not. So all 4 of them filled out their forms. Sheri was proud of me. She only asked me to ask 2 students and I went above & beyond and asked more students. When we went back I told Sheri that I asked 15 students and not just 2. I got a high five and she said "You did It!" She was very proud of me, Michelle O.

Getting over my fear of owls

Today Is Saturday March 3rd Year 2012

After Lisa’s class today (2/28/2012), there was a guy that came to Pace to show us and to talk to us about his owls. I was very scared and I did not want to see them. I peeked out of the classroom at the owl but I was too afraid so I stayed inside. Then Sheri came in the classroom and asked me if I wanted to come out to see the little owl. I said, “No, I’m really scared, no thanks”. But Sheri said, “But if I hold your hand would that make you feel any better? I’m also scared to go out alone”. Then I said. “Yes, I will come with you and look at only the little owl.” And guess what? I did it and everyone was very proud of me for getting over my fears. I was very proud of myself for going with Sheri and looking at only the tiny owl. The big owl was scary because I saw its head turn all the way around in a circle. But I am very proud of myself for going to look at only the small owl, just very quickly, and I did get over my fear but not all the way. Lisa’s class all clapped for me and I felt a little bit better. Well, anyway, the SLC is the very best thing for me. It helped me defeat my fears.
