I am very happy to report that Raquel did amazing at school this week! No issues/concerns from the teacher at all. What a relief! Raquel is happy to go, greets "Miss Sara" with a big smile, and gladly walks with them to class. And I'm also relieved that effective therapy has finally resumed. This week she had physical therapy (APE - Applied Physical Education) on Monday & Wednesday, and then speech on Tuesday and Thursday. Next week occupational is thrown in there somewhere.
I absolutely love Miss Sara. They were not exaggerating in the IEP about how wonderful she is just to get me to go along with the class. She IS wonderful. She seems so compassionate and sincere, and you can really tell how much she loves the kids when you watch her interact with them.
One of the things that she does is send home a little "report card" each day in their backpacks. It tells how they greeted their friends (by saying their name, making eye contact, waving, etc.), what they ate for lunch, what they did in both their large & small group activities, as well as what they made in art. That's very cool and just knowing these little things really make it easier to leave her each day.
Raquel comes home from school very tired and immediately naps for a couple hours, and then wakes up bright eyed and raring to go. I think being back in school is a really great thing. The behavior problems she was having before are pretty non-existent, so now she is able to be attentive and learn new things.
I am so proud of her! Tomorrow we are celebrating by going to the Wild Animal Park. I'll bring my camera so I can post new pictures.
Have a great weekend!
