Over the break and during this week

I had a great time working with the girls in Detroit over break. I got to see them preform in a show at Angel Hall, they were all very excited to see U of M. I also got to work with them the Friday before Christmas. Only two of the girls were there since it was a half day but we got to work on creating wreaths for the holidays, as well as christmas trees out of construction paper. 7 hours

I also met with Celebrities Against Autism, in which my friend Calvin donated Art Boxes to each one of the girls for Christmas. I'm excited to show the gifts to the girls.  1 hour

I also worked on planing out projects for the girls to work on when break is over as well as ideas for books that could showcase their work. I went out and got the supplies over break as well. 3 hours

I plan on doing a lot of work next week both on the books as well as working with the girls. I also got a book from the Ann Arbor library, its on their book club recommended list for this month. It's called On a Blue Day. The book is about a boy with Autistic Savants who is extraordinary at math. I'm really excited to read it over the semester.
