Photo Competition:
Kaleidoscope is looking for communities/classrooms to show your autism awareness spirit. Get creative (or look online for ideas) of how to get all students from your community/classroom into a picture that demonstrates autism awareness. Photos are due no later than Wednesday, April 27th to Nina Dudley and they will be judged by the Kaleidoscope parents while they are attending a parent night here at school. The winning community will be announced to them on Friday, April 29th and will be in the announcements, with their photo, on Monday May 2nd. Can’t wait to see your creativity...Good luck!!!
Characteristics of Autism- Topics of interest and Social interaction
Teachers- Have your students split up into groups of three. Two of the students will begin to have a typical conversation, have the other student constantly interrupt with thoughts of only one topic that they are interested in, while being very close in proximity to the other two students.
Discussion after: How difficult was it for the two students to try to include the third student who only wanted to talk about what they were interested in, while they were invading personal space?
How frustrating was it for the student who only wanted to talk about their interest?
Was it difficult or frustrating to the group?
Was anyone in the group able to actually have a conversation from beginning to end?
Many of our students have difficulty adapting to conversations when it is not of their own interest and do not understand or aware of personal space, this makes it hard to be a part of social groups and to make and keep friends.
Notice: Girls on the Run will NOT be meeting on April 25th and 27th or during Learning Showcase week. Girls on the Run will resume on May 9th.
Broccoli will be the snack for today
Broccoli belongs to the family of cruciferous vegetables which also includes cauliflower, kale, cabbage and Brussels sprouts.
Broccoli is extremely good for the health. It has Vitamins A, C and K, as well as the minerals calcium, potassium and iron. In addition, it contains phytochemicals that are known to detoxify the body and prevent many types of diseases, including cancer. It is also anti-inflammatory and can help lower cholesterol levels.
Broccoli is packed with fiber, which not only aids in digestion but keeps you feeling full. It is also very low in calories, as one cup of chopped raw broccoli has only 31 calories. Eating broccoli raw is one of the best ways to maximize its nutrition potential. Steam or roast it for a few minutes. because cooking broccoli longer destroys some of the valuable nutrients found in it.
