She has a hard rime sitting still for long periods of time and works best when there is a physical element. She loves talking with her friends and when it is her turn to be line leader for the class. Her favorite times of the day are story time, and when her teacher does math games where it feels like more of a game than math! Her teacher knows that Lucy and her classmates need lots of movement to make learning doable for them, so there are movement breaks in between lessons. There are also frequent opportunities for the class to do imaginative play to build communication skills. ]]> 2022-04-04 18:38:46 UTC https://padlet.com/rsherwood20/raeicxm0oi5dnsdd/wish/2129265383 rsherwood20 https://padlet.com/rsherwood20/raeicxm0oi5dnsdd/wish/2129285448 Brandon needs lots of physical activity to help make it through the day in his class, he often works standing up so he can move his body around while the teacher is talking.
