02/13/2009 SCHOOL #4's AUTISTIC PROGRAM
So today I left school around 10:00 with Mrs. Chelotti, we went to School #4 and sat in on an Autistic Class. I had so much fun! When Mrs. Chelotti and I got there the students were going over Math and counting up to ten with Cheerios's! I am glad I went today because I got to check out two different functioning classrooms, such as Bancroft and School #4. I forget what the machine is called, but School #4 has this really neat machine that helps Autistic kids concentrate a little bit better. The classroom I was in was with a group of 3-5 year olds and they are so incredibly smart. I'm really glad that Mrs. Chelotti took me today! I definitely plan to volunteer there a lot more before my Senior Year is over.
