Mrs. Copenhaver from Dolores CO is requesting books through DonorsChoose, the most trusted classroom funding site for teachers.

Temple & My GT Kids

Help me give my students the Temple Grandin story so other like ability learners in the world of GT will see the vision and produce hope in their world filled with uncertainty in a world with COVID19.

My Students

Questions and then solutions are discovered by my high ability learners in the good and bad times. I am so blessed to sit among these sweet souls and hear their solutions. Join with me to give them a book that a fellow GT person arose above her circumstances and now blesses all ASD 2E kids. Dr. Temple Grandin's book; "The Girl Who Thought in Pictures"

My Project

We had a field trip all planned to visit a local land conservatory & pet a llama's sweet neck of wooly curls. Then COVID19 came...

Hey, why not go around where we know the sun shines all the time?

Donors Choose! That's where it comes to you my sweet donors. We will use the Temple Grandin story to fight against all odds of a like ability learner to pull us up and one day we can say...we sent 25 minds to work for that COVID19 vaccine that summer of 2020. Give us the vision and sweet taste of homemade lemonade with our summer book club. Make lemonade out of lemons...Why? The COVID19 virus has given use lemons but my GT visionaries can always find that recipe for making lemonade; freshly squeezed!
