On Monday I went to Hope Academy and visited with the 5k/1st grade class. I could immediately tell who the two children with autism were because they both had shadows and one of them kept lashing out. It was really neat to see how the other students reacted to both of those boys like it was no big deal they were in there and they didn't treat them any differently.
On Tuesday I went to Mauldin Middle School and visited Mr. Finch's class. The kids in there had different special needs from autism to downs syndrome. I really enjoyed vising his class because I could tell he really had a heart for what he was doing. Some of the kids in there really struggled to stay on task and follow directions for even the simplest tasks and I know it takes a lot of patience to have a job like that.
On Wednesday I went to Mauldin Elementary School to observe Mrs. Rainey's neurological class of 5k/1st graders. Some of them had autism, downs or just a speech impediment. They were all so cute and Audrey and I got to read books to them for the first part of the observation. In the morning they were integrated with regular students to do morning work and then came back to their class.

| Senior Pink Day! |
On Thursday and Friday in class we worked on our flower pots which we made to hang up on teachers doors so that throughout the year we can write encouraging notes to put in their pots. We each selected 6-7 teachers to sponsor and we are responsible for making their pots and giving them notes throughout the year.
