Order a Pizza
Pizza is one of Michael’s favorite meals. He often eats frozen pizzas we bake at home, but he LOVES to order a pizza!
When he was in middle school, at the time of this journal entry, Michael went to the town public school with all the typical kids. Mikey’s school now is specifically for kids with autism. They don’t have a cafeteria that serves lunch so the students all bring their lunches except for Fridays.
Friday is Pizza Day
The school orders pizzas and each student can sign up to get 1, 2 or 3 slices of pizza. Of course, Mikey chose 3! He loves Pizza Friday and he has the job of going down to the office to get the pizza for his classroom…a big responsibility. Go, Mikey, go!
