April is Autism Awareness Month

Today you are going to watch a video to see what it is like for a person with autism to go through a store like Walmart.  This particular video is the perspective of one person, but it’s a very common experience for people with autism in any given store.  

Teachers please keep the volume turned up (but not so loud you break your speakers), you should also skip to 0:53 to pass the commentary and start the video.  Commentary starts again 2:00, feel free to stop the video here. ***The owner of this video has posted a popup notice at the very beginning, please close the popup before viewing the video.  This is the creator's perspective, not Kaleidoscopes***



Don’t forget to wear blue tomorrow, for Wear it Wednesday!

Today's snacks are carrots

People first grew carrots as medicine, not food, for a variety of ailments. Carrots can be traced back about 5,000 years through historical documents and paintings. Parsnips are a close relative of the carrot.


A medium-size carrot has 25 calories, 6 grams of carbs, and 2 grams of fiber. The veggie is an excellent source of vitamin A, providing more than 200% of your daily requirement in just one carrot. Carrots are loaded with beta-carotene, a natural chemical that the body changes into vitamin A. The deeper orange the carrot, the more beta-carotene you’re getting. We think of carrots as orange, but they can also be white, yellow, red, and purple.
