April for Autism

April is autism awareness month. 

All month we have been wearing blue puzzle piece pins.
(the sign for autism is a puzzle piece and the color is blue)

Autism: always unique totally interesting sometimes mysterious

Today we all wore blue to raise awareness. 

You can wear blue this month to raise awareness too. 

Reading!

He can read!!

I have a student that has learned all his letters, sounds, and started reading with pictures.

This week he was brave enough to read without pictures.

He read the whole book by himself without looking at pictures!

It was so exciting.

Stacey in Rwanda

One of my college roommates came to visit me in Rwanda! 

I was so excited I was jumping up and down at the airport waiting for her

We drank lots of tea. 

We also saw Gorillas! 23 of them - it was awesome. 

I am very thankful Stacey was able to come.
