This week Jessica has been doing work study in a garden center. I will get a full report from her teacher tonight, but she seems to be doing great. She seems very happy, and is more interactive and peaceful at home. She is sleeping better, and eating well. I think it's good for her to work. We may have her in a work study program next year, and forget the class room. Perhaps we can do a program that includes academics and work (Jessica will be 16 years old in September and she has autism). I will post photos when I get some.
Nicole did a 20 min oral presentation followed by 1/2 hour questions and answers in Chemistry this week. The last oral presentation she did was a disaster. She is shy, and it's hard for her to speak in front of a group. She was well prepared. She did great. She did not get her grade yet, but it looks like she will get a 1(A) or 2(B). Next week she has a big Latin exam. I can not believe what they expect of these kids! I'm sure I would never have been able to do this kind of work!
