the love of his teachers
April 29, 2009
I have to say that I am so thankful for the fact that my son loves his teachers, every one of them. Wow, how great is that! And, wow, it says something really great about the school and the wonderful nuturing environment he is in.
A couple of things that happened today.
My son is studying rocks in school. His homework over the weekend was to find a rock and bring it to school. He found two that he really liked and he brought those in. But then he also found a third rock at recess. He brought it with him at the end of the school day because his teachers said to bring it home. On our way out to the parking lot, he ran across one of the vice principals who also taught him computers (and he has been her special assistant on technical matters). He stopped her and asked her if she would take his rock and put it on his desk. Now this is a very busy lady. But she agreed. And sure enough, when he arrived the next morning, he went looking for his rock (he does not forget these things) and his rock was there on his desk.
We are going to Disneyland soon to make up for our missed trip over spring break. Two of my son’s teachers - his teaching assistant and his learning resource center teacher - both said they wanted him to pack them in his suitcase so they could go with him. You know, kids with asperger’s can take things very literally! He came home and got out the biggest suitcase we have and put his clothes on one side and said the other side was for his two teachers!
I just love these little things because I know how much they mean to him - I know how much these relationships give him confidence to go to school each day - and I am thankful.
