Sounds to me like it is definitely time for a note to the teacher-- expressing appreciation.

(I did this early and often until my DD was in middle school. She was not trivial to accommodate, and I deeply appreciated teachers that opted to honor her rather than "pruning" her into conformity.)

Her teacher really does sound like she's trying very hard. Let's hope that continues!! smile
