The Preschool program
Andrew's Early Childhood Special Education class had their graduation last night. Man was it cute! All of these little kids getting up on state to get their certificates. Andrew's class got theirs first, they were worried how the kids would do. Andrew did awesome, as did most of the other kids! Poor guy though. They gave them their certificates, then released them to their parents. But Andrew was so set on going back to the seat they had practiced having him in, he went back there instead. So he sat with his teacher until it was all over, but he was so good and so quiet the whole time.
We asked her how she did that, and she said chips, lots of chips for rewards this week. :)
I was so proud of Andrew. Multiple teachers came up to tell me how great it was to work with him, how good he is. And when we were done and we told him it was time to go, he walked us back to his classroom. His teacher came in and said hello, and then she showed us how she sings the ABC song with Andrew, and he did so well with her, did all the things he was supposed to! He's such a little trooper, and he's making such tremendous progress. He sang the ABC song all evening, and he's been singing it with me this morning too. I just can't explain how exciting it is to see Andrew making this kind of progress. He's doing amazing things, and I just know he's going to continue to amaze me as time goes on. :)
Here's a picture of my angel coming in to the auditorium with his teacher.
This is Andrew sitting so quietly in his chair at the program. I want one of these chairs please! hehe
And this is Andrew being patient while we all wait for the program to end. He had a little toy snake in his lap, it helped keep him occupied through the 15 minute program. This was after he got his award and was released to sit with us, but his habits wouldn't let him leave the row he practiced sitting in for so long!
