FIVE YEAR OLD STUDENTS
My five-year old students, are learning to read.
Yesterday one of them pointed at a picture
in a zoo book and said,
'Look at this! It's a frickin' elephant!'
I took a deep breath, then asked...
'What did you call it?'
'It's a frickin' elephant! It says so on
the picture!'
And so it does...
' A f r i c a n Elephant '
Hooked on phonics! Ain't it wonderful?

A Boy with Autonomic Dysfunction - The Miller Family
Our Special Life
Oliver was born after having suffered a stroke while in his mother's womb. The resulting brain injury is called Dysautonomia (Autonomic Dysfunction). His doctors believe the stroke was the result of the miscarriage of his twin. Oliver is completely blind and his underdeveloped brain stem makes basic physical functions a challenge. In spite of all this, he is a happy, go-lucky, 12-year-old boy, and his mom wants people to meet the real Oliver, not just his medical hardships.
