Connection in Class

Below you will see a youtube that I showed my reading class today. We have been reading a novel called Petey. It is a touching story about a man that was placed in the Warm Springs Insane Asylum in the 1920's. It was later discovered by medical professional that he was misdiagnosed. He has cerebral palsy. The book tells his story and shares his experiences with other people that discovered long before the doctors that he was not an idiot. I wanted to find a way to help the students see the amazing connection between a person with cerebral palsy and an amazingly caring person. Beware, if you watch this you may want to have a tissue near. Enjoy.

Thanks to everyone for bringing in the bake sale treats. We made more than what we needed and are planning yet another field trip! We will have a busy May and June. A special thanks to Stephanie and Adam Davis for helping out today by selling all the leftover treats. You all rock!!
