Thank you for the warm replies.
Grinity, I like the letter writing idea for the IEP.
It's so complex at this young age. She's become very adept at seperating her "at home" persona from her "at school" persona. If I had a goal for this year it would be to help her gain confidence in being a little more "her" at school, and not just at home. She's tried sharing at "share-time" her passion for american history and her interest in different decades (the fifties being her personal favorite), but both were received, to her surprise, with uninterest by her class of peers. She's back to sharing her Littlest Pets. Nothing wrong with that. I'd just love to see her have an outlet.
Ah, once again...I rant. I'll be ready at the IEP with some ideas. And, again, Grinity...I really like the letter idea. I'm not sure she can envision school as anything other than what it's always been to her, but we'll see.
Until Next Time,
