| Adria in circle time at pre-school working on the letter Q this week. |
A short bus equipped with belted booster seats comes to pick up Adria every weekday and takes her and other qualified children to their special classroom in the local high school. For 2.5 hours in the afternoon they get lunch and learn letters, seasonal facts and many other things in their "Interest Areas." It's the perfect amount of time for her and Dad, and she loves it.
Her three teachers pour into the 24 children in her K-4 class, and I've been impressed with all they have taught her. Not all the children have an IEP, but those who do get individualized therapy times once a week.
Adria gets physical therapy, where she is currently learning to balance on one leg and try to walk up steps without needing to hold onto the railing. It's been great to see her progress over the year when little things like being able to step up on a curb are huge triumphs! She's a trooper.
Today, parents were invited to stop in and watch our children meet the special visitor before Christmas break. It's fun to watch a group of 4 and 5 year olds as Santa enters the room, and they one-by-one sit on his lap and tell him what they want for Christmas. Each child was given a gift, a box full of art supplies. I found out that these were provided by the local Lion's Club. How sweet!
It was a fun way to celebrate the last day of school for two weeks. And I was thankful I had the time to stop in and participate before running to a home closing. My first two home sales at my new job settled on their new homes this week. Yeah!
That's what I wanted for Christmas.
