This daily correspondance between schools she attended and us give you a glimpse on our daily life. Most parents of typical children do not communicate on daily basis with the teachers. This gives a reader an insight to how important daily communication is for a child with autism.

Kat has attended school since she was 3 years old. These are school notes that were result of correspondence with her parents and her teachers. We have made comments at a later date reflecting back on the impact of these events.Kats School Notes Index

Good Morning ! I got another nice greating this morning- unprompted.

Art- We took a tour around the school to look at all the art projects for the "Art Fair" and then the art class went to the gym for a game of ski patrol- snowball. Kat was truly awesome ! She was laughing and smiling and really running her heart out after intial prompting. She really loves this game. It's great to see her having so much fun.

A really fun day so far in Mrs. R's class. Kat painted pictures for the class "totem pole." She really did a beautiful job. She had to draw a picture for herself, Favorite animal (She chose a bird), Symbol (type of job, want to be when you grow up), and something important to you. Kat painted wonderful self- portait. and she choose the bird for her favorite animal, and for a career- Want she wants to be- She drew and painted herself in a dance costume, Dancing to her color light. and she painted Messha. I only prompted her with questions to get the ideas out of her but all the ideas were her own. She was so creative ! Her painting turned out awesome. She loves art ! With some prompting to find the correct information from the story- Kat wrote a great paragraph about "Totem Poles." She is really awesome today. Great work we are having a fun day- Kat is really enjoying herself. Took a walk to the library before lunch- Awesome recess- So warm and sunny likes Springtime. Prompting a lot of conversation.

Math with Mrs. B.- did a couple of worksheets dealing with addition and subtraction word problems with fraction and dollars and cents. Kat had a little trouble- Still very insecure with her borrowing- neat prompting to get through problems- getting single and double borrowing confused. She is very insecure and looks for a reassurance before completeing a problem on her own.

Only took one dime today for silly talk. Awesome today, Inticated a lot of on her own and interacted nicely with her teachers, Eye Contact a lot better than usual. Kat attented to her teachers very well today and responded to their directions with out additional prompts for me. Excellent !

In Social Studies, this afternoon, Kat independently began copying notes from the board into her notebook. Needed some help completeing Social Studies workbook pages 72 and 74. ( can finish for homework) Kat was very "on the ball" today an excellent week for her ! All on her own, as I was leaving, She took out her journal independently and wrote about her day. So awesome ! What initiative.
