I am a mom who after seeking out Pre-K teaching resources, decided to instead make up my own stuff. Why? Because my 3 year old does not fit into a mold and I have come to see that only I know what will really keep her attention. So I have made this blog to keep a Journal of all the lessons, art pojects and resources I have created and used. And because writing them on scrap papers and kept loosely in a binder just did not work out so well....

Temple Grandin

Ryan had watched a movie a few weeks back called "Temple Grandin".  It is an HBO movie production about an autistic girl named Temple Grandin.  Ryan raved about it and told me I had to watch it.  It did not sound exciting to me at all.  He loved it so much that he even said he wanted to own it.  And folks, we only own like 6 DVD movies and 4 of them are kid movies.  So I knew he was for real loving this movie.  So he had it for me to watch last night.

Let me tell you, it is awesome.  I agree...I want to own it and watch it with my kiddos.  It is such a great movie.  For me, what strikes me even now is how this girl was able to work with her autisim, and with the help of others, she found what methods helped her excel in learning and life.  She is now in her 50's and is widely known in the Autistic community.
Here is a link to a trailer to the movie. But, it kind of gives some of it away.
I usually am not one to recommend movies, but this is a must see.
For me, it has inspired me to study my kids and learn what teaching methods will help them excel.
It is truly an inspirational true story!  Go check it out..you will not regret it!
