We have been to Mrs. Gunter's class two times now. The first time we went to do our activities. I was with a girl named Jessica. I think she has autism. She really enjoyed painting the crabs. I was surprised at how she seemed just like a normal preschooler. The only difference was that she had autism symptoms such as not making eye contact and not talking a lot.
The second day we did more activities that they do everyday in there classroom. I played with Jessica again and we did puzzles for most of the time. There was one of an airplane that was really hard for her and probably would have even been a little challenging for me. Then for the last few minutes we went over to the home/kitchen area. I was surprised when Jessica was even saying the names of the food she was stirring up. Then more people came to play with Jessica so I saw another girl named Victoria playing alone. She and I played kitchen for a while then watched books on the internet together. It feels really good to know that we are helping these kids.
