Your student is in the process of writing a biography of an inventor. Many of the girls wanted to research female inventors, but it has been difficult for them to find information, especially in books. We went to the computer lab. today so we could use the internet, and while the girls were researching inventors, they discovered Temple Grandin.
I know who Temple Grandin is and have seen the biographical movie HBO did of her life. Some of the students were very curious about her and I suggested they find out more at home. Temple Grandin has autism and has overcome many obstacles. She has a doctorate in animal science and has written books about humane treatment of animals she also gives speeches on autism. The HBO movie gives an amazing look at her life and her success. I told some of them they may want to watch the movie, and I recommend that you, the parent, watch it first. There are some unusal scenes in it, but it does give a realistic view into autism and how Temple overcame many obstacles.

Third grade CSAP
Parents, third graders are taking the reading portion of the CSAP test Wednesday and Thursday morning. I have explained that this test is for them to show what they know. I would suggest that they get a good night's sleep and eat a good breakfast. Please support your student and provide what they need. Try not to make them more anxious, I have told them they will do well as long as they follow directions. Thanks for supporting your child's education.
It was great to meet with all of you for your child's conference. I enjoy talking with parents and sharing your student's success. Please contact me if you have any questions or concerns the rest of the school year.
