place English classroom belonging to Mr T who is an general ed teacher a bunch of students inculcating AZ who has NVLD and CP making group work and public speaking hard for her to do.
Mr.T was talking to his students about Orthello and to start out the unit he was taking a abbreviated script for groups of three to act out. Mr.T knows how hard group work is for Az so he says that she is Director and has to find out the tone of the play. AZ loves the idea because he told her it is kinda like AP work( he also teaches to Senior AP- English) and she has always wanted to take. About ten minutes latter the class reconvines and he sits with AZ and togeter watch the play ( a actor who will remain nameless) got near the
director but he moved back much to AZ's delight) Then Mr T asks AZ a question and she got it wrong but it dose not matter what matters is that Inclusion happened and she was one happy girl at lunchtime. Mr.T is genius
Why did it work: Mr .T knows that social stuff are hard for AZ & IT always ends in frustration of monopolizing the project. He also knows that Az loves a challenge and wishes that she was in AP. He put 2 together took the script and wrote tone on it in certain points for her to do while the others were practicing the same scene. He then helped check her work when she was done at his desks. The result is one happy well ran classroom and a kid who can grin and say that she was an director today and had fun doing a special job.

16 years ago today I started pre school
The fall of 1994 marked a beginning of an era for me. You see , due to my CP I was eligible for free pre school though my school teacher . The Key word is free so off to pre school I went.
There was a catch , this class was a SDC class for kids with speech disorders. My teacher, I am going to call her Teacher J , was a wonderful teacher who helped me out a lot . I later met up with Teacher J right before I started high school at my Jr.High graduation party in 2006. I am getting ahead of my self here so why don't we take a look at the first entry of my pre school journal. This journal was used as a communication between mostly my mom and teacher J with input from dad just to keep it interesting.
please not [ ] are my commentary. while the stuff written like this outside the[ ] are my comprehension of what was written. Names are changed for privacy reasons.

Greetings AZ's parents,
Well we're on our record day. AZ got off the bus and joined it [ I think she ment in]. She crise especially in the early morning requesting, "Ma Ma". In fact she is with me holding my arm and leg as I write to you.
Transitional times seem the most difficult.[to this day this remains true] - From one activity to another, classroom to playground - classroom to bathroom. We chose not to go to the library today keeping the routine constant.Overall she is adjusting. It's a big leap for a child. I've been though it w/ my own 3. We are loving, holding and caring for her.
Teacher J
I of course wanted to share something with my parents as well so I drew something that looks like this
This is from AZ teacher J wrote above the paper [ I drew something similar but the picture is not from me it is from this site (http://blog.bolandbol.com/wp-content/uploads/2007/05/061215.jpg)] Mommy and Daddy I love you.
PS :Perhaps you can send a favorite stuff animal,book or toy ,so she could hold on to it, reminding her of home. think about it!
