Back to School

I know I'm over a month late in posting our back to school pictures. Alex has returned to the ELC at our church. He is in the 3 year old class. We are working on skills such as potty training, sharing with others, and basic education. He's a talker and knows all of his letters, colors, and numbers, so at this point I'm hoping some discipline and structure will benefit him the most.

Evan is in a special needs pre-K class again this year. He qualified as a 5 year old to attend kindergarten, but we wanted to give him a chance to really learn some skills and have the smaller class size with pull out sessions for O.T., speech, and P.T.  He attends the CDC for District 6 and has a new teacher this year. The awesome thing that happened this year is he now has a one-on-one helper. This helper will help him in all daily tasks such as holding a pencil, sitting in a chair, walking down the hall, bathroom etiquette, and more. Since Evan puts everything in his mouth, this slight redirection will greatly benefit him. It also gives the teacher an opportunity to teach rather than constant monitoring of his behavior.

They both had great starts to the year so here's hoping we see lots of progress!
