A Breakthrough!

This morning while dropping off Graham at daycare, I wanted to talk to the teachers about how Graham was doing at school. The day before he'd told me all about his day, but seemed sad about something. He only gave me a few broken pieces to work with. The teachers said it might have had to do with a craft in discovery and not being able to finish it or thinking he was supposed to share his collage but did not have time???? Not only did it turn out to be nothing big, but the teachers also shared some things of interest to me. They told me he actually read his show and tell to the class. Not only is him sharing with me his day a new thing, but he actually read to the class. Last year, this would never had happened. She showed me a painting Graham did of himself and a worksheet they filled out about themselves. She said that getting him to answer the questions was kind of hard, but he wanted to write them himself. I am sooooo proud of him. Big leaps from last year this time! Maybe he is on the path to opening up. He is so much more expressive now than he was. I told the teacher that he is very reserved and may not talk a lot or even answer their questions, but that I was the same way at school. One of the teachers said that at least he seems to be absorbing it, even if he is on the quiet end. She said we'd probably see more goals being met as the year goes. It is only the 2nd week of school.
