MIKAYLA WAS BORN WITH A BRAIN INJURY (OUR FRIEND MIKAYLA), JEFFREY HAS DOWN SYNDROME (HIGH FIVES AND A BIG HEART), BRADY IS CHALLENGED BY AUTISM (SUPER BRADY ~ ALWAYS ON THE MOVE!), AND DOT HAS A YELLOW SPOT (THE SPOT), BUT THESE BOOKS ARE NOT ABOUT THE MAIN CHARACTERS OR THEIR DISABILITIES. THEY ARE ABOUT FRIENDSHIP. AND KINDNESS.INCLUSION ART PROJECTS: STUDENTS OF ALL ABILITIES WORK TOGETHER TO CREATE LARGE- SCALE ARTWORK (WHEELS OF FRIENDSHIP) OR SMALL INTERACTIVE ARTWORK (KAYA'S KALEIDOSCOPE) TO CELEBRATE INCLUSION IN SCHOOL. THEIR ART IS PERMANENTLY DISPLAYED IN SCHOOL AS A BEAUTIFUL REMINDER THAT IT IS ALWAYS POSSIBLE TO INCLUDE EVERYONE!MIKAYLA'S BOOKSHELF ENRICHMENT WEBSITE:"MIKAYLA'S BOOKSHELF" INCLUDES ELECTRONIC VERSIONS OF ALL FOUR BOOKS MAKING IT EASIER TO SHARE THEM WITH ALL CLASSES, STUDENTS, AND FAMILIES. BUT THE BOOKS ARE JUST THE FOUNDATION UPON WHICH WE HAVE BUILT ADDITIONAL ENRICHMENT LESSONS WITH THE THEMES OF KINDNESS AND FRIENDSHIP FOR TEACHERS AND OLDER STUDENTS TO INTRODUCE AND/OR REINFORCE MIKAYLA'S VOICE MESSAGE AND MISSION WITH YOUNGER STUDENTS.
