Alex is starting 1st grade today in a regular class with a parapro. He will have the same parapro as last year. He had full day kinder last year and was at Croyden for a year and a half full time before that. He likes the schoolbus. Yesterday when I was telling him about his day for today, he got up out of bed and went for the front door looking for the schoolbus! He seemed worried that he missed it. He got to meet his teacher twice before today. He has some familier faces from last year. By the way, you can ask to have some kids from their former class to follow them into the next year's class. Alex seemed sort of fond of a couple of kids from kinder. and I had suggested if they could go with Alex into the next class. It all worked out. Hopefully, it will work out today. Regardless, it usually takes a couple of weeks before any kid gets used to the routine of the new class. Don't worry if it doesn't go well today, it will go well sooner than later.

Hi all...
Well tomorrow is the first day of the new school year...I am curious to
see where everyone decided to place their kiddos this year. Please
share!! Here, I'll go first:
As many of you know, Hayley will be going to Prairieview and will be in
the ABA classroom and hopefully do a half day in kindergarten as well...
I am a bit nervous because this will be the first time in a few years
she will be attending a fully functioning elementary school (her old
school only had 2 spec ed rooms and 2 head start rooms). This will also
be the first year in 2 years that she has a new teacher and new para-
pros...that's a lot of change for her. I hope she can handle it!
Good luck to all the kids (and their folks) and to the teachers as
well...hope you all have a great first day!!!
