This is nice.

DD has a p.e. teacher this year that's helped her throw a ball, which I've been working on for years. He broke it down and got her to see that she does 5 steps and only needs to do 2, it was really cool.

Her social studies teacher let her take her essay home to finish because DD was taking so much time to make sure her teacher could read it that she only got 1 out of 3 paragraphs finished in the alloted time.

Her art teacher "really likes DD as a person" she told me. Her other p.e. teacher said she is a "joy" and "eagerly participates". Her foreign language teacher never docks her for being a few minutes late and dropping papers everywhere, but enjoys her leaps in learning and enthusiasm.
