"You don't become enormously successful without encountering and overcoming a number of extremely challenging problems." Mark Victor Hansen
Into each life a little rain must fall, sometimes it's a downpour. It's how you handle the downpour that determines your level of success. You need to embrace your challenges in order to overcome them.
I have many things to be thankful for this evening. Thank you Lorna for being my taxi driver today, I really appreciate it. Thank you Lucille for continuing to help me in my search for a paraprofessional. Thank you all for the wonderful birthday surprise and cake----what a special treat, I loved it! My husband learned something at church tonight---Ash Wednesday is apparently not a holy day of obligation, but he prayed for me anyway and I thank him for it( I made him take the kids and I need all the prayers I can get!)
I am also thankful for the progress Nathaniel made this evening. I tried two new strategies with him: Zoom-In and Storybook Sequence. The Zoom-In strategy focuses on finding the 5-W's (who, what, where, when, why) of a story. This was very helpful for Nathaniel and he was able to answer the questions better than usual. He really enjoyed the storybook sequence activity. He sketched the first thing that happened in the story then wrote a note about it. He then drew the second thing that happened and so on. This activity was very effective and I will continue to use it!
I'd say this was the best session so far! Sheila we missed you!
Thank you all!
Kate
You are so welcome to use the YELLOW CAB service as often as you would like to....It was a nice evening.
ReplyDeleteI prayed for you...and received extra ashes for you!
Thanks honey bunches!!! I missed you all too. I was lonely working with Donovin in my classroom. Then again, the loneliness was distracted by the excitement of Donovin's progress with fluency...apparently it's his first experience being able to read smoothly and with expression and meaning. HAPPY BIRTHDAY by the way...wish I was there to see your reaction to the surprise. You're all in my prayers for the best and for all the strength and knowledge to keep going. See you next week!
ReplyDeleteThis may kinda late but I hope you enjoyed your birthday celebration. BTW, you're not in trouble with Jesus for not going to church on Ash Wednesday. I got your back on prayers for you and every one in class.
ReplyDeleteI going to try your Zoom-In strategy with Charlene. I hope it works with her. Thanks!
My prayers are always with my inner circle even I haven't been a frequent church goer lately! God Bless and great job with the work that you have done with Nathaniel!
