Spring News Letter
This year is flying by. We are already on the last stretch of the year. I cannot believe that 5 students will be graduating on June 7. Please make sure you are looking at the important date pages since there are lots of things happening in the next few months!
Horseback Riding on Wednesdays
Our Spring riding session started up again. We are very excited to be riding again! We will ride until May 23rd. Please remember on these days to wear pants and riding shoes. We are outside the whole time so dress for the weather!
Brookwood Buddies are Back!
For the new year we started up our buddy program again. Many of our 5th grade students have expressed an interest in becoming a buddy. This activity pairs Brookwood students in general education classrooms with students in the autism classroom during recess. This program benefits both our program and the students in general education. The students with autism learn many things about communication, being with other children, and how to make recess choices. The buddies benefit from the sense of responsibility. They develop patience and become more accepting of people different from themselves. This program has greatly benefited all the Brookwood students who have participated in the past.
Each student in my room was been paired with a buddy at least 3-4 times a week. Be asking your child who there buddy was and also what they did for recess. This will help increase the communication between school and home.

Reminders:
