Schools Need More Autism Awareness


by Taylor Ephraim

If Autism was taught in classrooms, normally developing children would understand these issues some people have no choice of living with. Kids in school with autistic characteristics are easy targets for their typically developing peers.  

A study in The New York Times shows that children on the autism spectrum disorder are bullied nearly five times more often than their typically developing peers. Parents of autistic kids think the rate is even higher than that, some feel as if their designated school is unsafe for their child.

Mr. Tavarez’s visit to Spanish 5C


By Breitling Lewis, Christian Turcios, and Ryell Walker

We enjoyed Mr. Tavarez’s presentation.  He taught us about the culture of the Dominican Republic.  

Tavarez demonstrated how to play musical instruments that he brought to our class.  It was beautiful the way he described how the instruments were made.  He gave us a different mindset that we can use things around us to create amazing instruments.
