Illuminations

Abe recently had a big night for his Ables class. Ables is a special program Abe has participated in since the second grade. Once a week he takes a bus to another school where they do more creative group-type projects and research presentations. This time they were focusing on medieval times and Abe chose "Illuminations" as his subject. Illuminators were artists who would draw literature to make it come to life. We took all of the kids over to the school and listened to many enlightening presentations. This is the last year Abe will be in the program because he starts middle school next year (I can't even believe it!)

The kids that attend Ables have been doing this for three years and are pretty darn good at it at this point! Abe is a great self-starter and does all of his work on his own. He is one of few kids there that completely designed his own poster (a lot of the other's definately had parental help!)

Abe has had the same teacher for Ables all four years - Mr. Knowles. He is fantastic!! Abe has loved being a part of it!
