Sorry to have frightened all of you with the single ominous word “test”. Dan P. was trying to see if the contact list he had imported for me was working. That word had nothing to do with the test your sons and daughters had taken earlier in the day.
As far as we know, the Human Growth test went fine. The students seemed pretty relaxed going into it. Everyone went to bed early the night before the test. We provided them with a pretty detailed set of Powerpoints to use for studying and they made their own study guides.
We had a very low key afternoon. After the test, the cafeteria served up pizza (including a gluten free variety which I though was pretty good!) a relish tray and "hot from the oven" chocolate chip cookies delivered to the 2nd floor of Warde Hall.
When I left some of the students were about to watch the DVD , “Mary and Max”. We showed it here at the college during Autism Awareness month and everyone seemed to like it. Knowing that Zoe had a copy, I asked her to share it with the group. It’s about a friendship between two individuals, an older man with Asperger’s and his penpal Mary.
It has a wonderful message. If you haven’t seen it, rent it from Netflix!!!
