The Autism program and Language Arts department at VH invite the community to partner with our 6th graders and read the book "Anything But Typical" by Nora Raleigh Baskin during the month of April. Please use this blog's comment section to capture thoughts and conversation you are able to have with your students and the community throughout this project. There are also links below that may be used to further your understanding and involvement in the Autism community.
Post one thing you learned from Mrs. Kowalski, Aaron, and PJ's presentation from today. Some ideas may include, "What is one thing new you learned about Autism?" or " How can you be a good friend to someone with Autism?"
Mrs. Sullivan's 1st hour class really enjoyed the presentation from Aaron & P.J. on Wednesday. They had a lot of great questions. We're looking forward to reading the book together.
Mrs. Sullivan's 2nd hour said "Good Job" to P.J. and Aaron. They enjoyed their company and it was motivating. They would love to be able to get to know the boys more!
Mrs. Sullivan's 3rd hour wants to get to know Aaron and P.J. better. It was a great experience to listen to the speakers and hear about their lives. We enjoyed it!
Mrs. Sullivan's 4th hour thought is was good to meet P.J. and Aaron. We really want to hear about their adventures at SCAMP. It is so nice to know that P.J. and Aaron are so happy. We hope to learn more while we read the book.
The presentation was very good! One way you can make friends with people with Autism is to sit next to them at lunch and talk to them and not get angry when they don't respond. I hope PJ and Aaron will come back!!
The presentation was fascinating and I learned so much about autism. It encouraged me to sign up to be a buddy to some of the kids with autism at Van Hoosen during homeroom and lunch. I think that the best way to be a friend to someone with autism is to be patient and understanding.
