When you see a child in Zoom all year,
you begin to make assumptions about them
from observations made daily.
But when you have to make a huge decision about their education,
you want to make sure your assumptions are correct.
J has been off and on our Zoom all year.
He actually started attending recently and engaging in language.
He comes in and out of class,
knows how to enable his drawing tool and draws on our virtual zoom meetings.
I'm just glad he shows up more now.
Lots of growth,
but what would be the best and appropriate classroom for him?
It was too difficult to tell how he would react being away from the safety of home.
Today he was waiting for us in line.
He didn't have transition issues or trouble following directions.
He danced, sang, and played with us.
He was able to identify characters he found
explore different materials, and asked friends to play.
He kindly helped a friend with his smock,
played nicely, took turns, and was independent when using the bathroom.
All these wonderful skills he had,
but we couldn't see them in a zoom meeting.
Now we can!
Welcome J, we are so happy you are here!
It was glider building day!
Lots of pieces,
but kids were determined.
And they flew!
His younger brother J was.
Now he is a college graduate.
How super, duper cool is that!
Proud teacher! Go Andy!
Love graduation season!
