AN EVENING WITH TEMPLE GRANDIN
On Tuesday evening, a few League School for Autism staff had the opportunity to see Dr. Temple Grandin at Boston Higashi School. Dr Grandin talked about the need for less time on video games and screens, and more time in nature, engaging with tools and mechanisms, and doing chores or working. In the audience was Stephen Shore, author, speaker, and autistic self-advocate, who was honored at last year’s League School Night of Champions Gala. It was an insightful and informative evening.

NATIONAL HAIKU DAY
Last Thursday was National Haiku Day and League School students learned about what a Haiku is, read haiku’s, and wrote their own Haiku’s in Carla Dyer's class. A haiku is "a three-line Japanese poem with a specific syllable structure: five syllables in the first line, seven in the second, and five in the third, for a total of 17. It's unrhymed and often focuses on nature, aiming to capture a single moment or image." Check out these great Haiku's from students!
