Moment

Crying when we started 95%...me crying...the kids just ignored 95% at first. It was hard.

Sooooooo, I used our milar balloons and made the message "I can try" mostly for me, but when the going got tough that was our class mantra..."I can try."

I'm so proud of all of my students' progress. I went from having students eloping from my room no fewer than 15 times a day, to being able to walk in a line on the sidewalk outside with NO running away! Students went from NO communication to being able to tell me what they want or need, as well as appropriately refusing things they don't want.
