I have written a little project book for my son with Asperger's Syndrome. It is a book he can fill (or a younger child can fill in with your help). It is all about him. His favorite food, favorite color, favorite animal, etc... and has pages for emotions. I took pictures of him making different emotion faces (not that easy... but we ended up with 4 emotions). "What makes him happy" with a picture of him smiling...."what makes me sad" with a picture of him frowning, etc..... It is about 2-5th grade and a short simple project.(or for even younger kids if you ommit the writing portion, maybe have them taperecord their answers)
Anyway, if you would like to have a copy of this for your child, let me know. I can send you a copy (email the file) and I can substitute your child's name and either pics of your child, or emotion face clip art.
you can email me at KiTer5@gmail.com. If you tell me your child's name (just 1st name), birthyear and whether they have siblings and/or pets, so I can personalize the project.

-I have had a lot of people tell me they read about our homeschooling, but don't leave notes (I have trouble leaving notes here,it is too time consuming- so I undertsnd)- So, let me know if you want on a mailing list of when I have a new entry-
IN OTHER NEWS-
I am filling out application and medical forms for my boys today. We have decided to enroll them each in one 'homeschool enrichment class' at a local private school. They will each need a school polo to wear the day they have class (Mondays). I am hoping the schol can hande LDs. They aren't core subjects, so the LDs shouldn't be a big problem. I think the auditory processing disorder will be the most trouble, as they will need to be close to the teacher and need good eye contact.
it's exciting. I think it'll be good for them to be taking a class somewhere else. It'll be a lot of driving for me, though. More than I wan, anyway.
Gavin is taking computer and Connor and Ki are taking art. Ki wants to take drama the second semster (so 1 semester of art and 1 of drama)
it's $350 a class. Not too bad I guess for a private school and all the art and computer supplies are covered.
