Ode to Daphne!
Daphne's 1st Day of school was September 11, but Just now getting the pics up!
She loves school. Her teacher is new and she loves all the little girls in her class. They say she is wonderful and has yet to get in trouble enough to have to tell me!
This girl has really been growing up and hopefully will be fully potty trained soon! She is so stubborn!
She has fun at school with her sister just right down the hall, they don't see each other at school, until at the end. I have always wanted my kids to go to school together and technically Daphne will start kindergarten in fall of 2015, so Sami will be in 3rd grade than.. but this is fun for now!
Daphne's class is mostly kids that have an IEP which is code for some kind of learning disability. Daphne's is actually pretty minor. Since she couldn't hear well for well who knows how long, she missed out on the socialization with other kids, and speech and so she is catching up and doing great so far. It's getting easier and easier to understand her and she has been sitting still a little better for things!
It's great instead of having to run her around to speech class etc she gets it all at the school for free! It's an amazing program, that they are expanding throughout all Washington. They just opened up 2 more preschool groups in our area, at the elementary schools. This is the last year where you can pay to put your child in this preschool, it is exclusively now just for kids that need extra help. Daphne goes to school Monday and Wednesday and her teacher goes to the other school in town and teaches tuesday thursday! Once again so grateful to be living in Cheney at this time so my kids can get this extra help. So by the time 2015 rolls around and we move on to the next joint, She will be in kindergarten and things will be a lot easier all around. Oh and she won't be behind. They just started all day kindergarten here, and apparently that is going to be state wide soon, I guess they are just holding kids to a higher standard, and it will help there future too because I know if I would have had these programs growing up I would have done a lot better in school. So sorry all you smart kids that never had a learning problem ever... you just gotta suffer going to all day kindergarten! In Sami's class since it's mixed with IEP students and not, when she needs extra help they just pull her out so the other kids aren't interrupted!
Sorry just voicing my feelings on this.. Some things are nice.... some are annoying! My kids were born with problems that make them different they are there challenges and they are happy normal kids, but for some reason or another school is harder so this help is great!
