The
COUGAR CORNER February 2016
We have reached the midway point of the school year. This is good news for many of our students as they are one step closer to summer break. Our students have been working hard on increasing skills and meeting grade level goals, but it is critical that we ensure the proper support system both at home and at school for the remainder of the school year. June will be here before you know it and our students need all the support they can get. Child Study team visit to grade 8

Students in Mrs. Lazzaro’s 8th grade ELA class are reading the novel Mockingbird by Kathryn Erskine in which the main character has Asperger’s. The book is trying to
encourage readers to have empathy and understanding. Along with the novel, the students are writing essays comparing autism and Asperger’s. Mrs. Clavero and Ms. Dowd
visited the classes to answer questions and show the students what it’s like to follow directions for someone who has autism.
Horace Mann Child Study Team visits

given the chance to program JD to move,
speak and even dance.
