Shout out to Leigh for noticing an accommodation needed to help a child in her classroom. The child has an IEP for vision and she noticed that he was not sitting for meals or finishing meals. She requested bright colored serving dishes/utensils since his therapist reported those are colors he sees best with contrast. Her and Samantha had dark placemat made and on the first day of use the child sat for entire meal and used his utensils to finish his food! Way to go Leigh! So happy you noticed that this accommodation was needed and brought it to our attention. Also love to see Leigh's fun attitude and love for all the children she works with.

I loved that you encouraged the kids to also learn to be happy for a peer when someone does a good job/gets picked… that even if someone else gets the spotlight or something good happens to them, it can feel good for us too. That was a huge teachable moment that isn't always noted when talking about being kind/a good friend. You always impress me with the little things like that every visit!

Megan and Lisa have multiple students with special needs. They have gone out of their way to provide individual supports to 3 students in particular. They have used things like visuals, sensory objects, modification to the classroom environment, and many strategies to to help these students be as successful as possible. They have balanced individualizing instruction to support these students while still meeting the needs of the whole group and providing structure and routine to all of the class.
