Remeber this

time 12:20 Febuary9 2010
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 Orthel
lo 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.

   Original Date Written    October 12 ,1994. by   teacher  J


 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!
