When DD was in preschool her teacher allowed her to read the stories to the class at circle time and to have some extra "alone" time when she was having a tough time dealing with others who didn't get her.
DD's art teacher 2 years ago had her after school for private lessons during which DD would be given choices of art projects to do and the supplies to go at it.
This year, it is another art teacher who welcomed her into her art room, loans her supplies and who is putting on an art show (next week) with DD's work as 1/2 the show.
She also has an English teacher who meets her at the library on Friday mornings this year for class because the school won't let DD in her 6th grade gifted English class. This teacher has gotten DD to accept suggestions on her work and raised her writing to amazing levels, all while allowing her to be a silly little 8 year old.
