Below is an update from Roma's teacher along with some photos of her day. Remember, you can click on the individual photos to enlarge them!

   Morning Jennifer,

   Roma had a busy and good day yesterday. We went to the
   Pantry and she enjoyed our brunch. Upon return to the center
   we checked out the newspaper, did some reading group activities,
   and had a snack b-4 the afternoon. In the afternoon Roma completed
   some Stages assessment w/ Rachel and Simone, social studies,
   updated the calendar in our room to October, and finished up w/
   some coloring of a coloring sheet she picked out to finish the day.

   Also I have included some pics of a math activity w/ a bar graph
   and dancing during a square dancing lesson during language arts
   on Monday.

   I will write you more after school.

   Enjoy the beautiful day,

   CM

That's all for now, we hope you enjoyed reading about Roma's day!

Below is an update from one of Roma's teachers. They are keeping her very busy and she seems to be transitioning well and enjoying herself!

   Good morning Jennifer:

   Roma had a very good day yesterday. She was positive, happy, enjoyed
   the activities, and transitioned from place to place throughout the
   building.

   She mailed a letter home to you and it should be coming to you in the
   coming days. We have attached a picture of her working on the computer
   on her letter. We had a lyceum in the gym in the afternoon and Roma was
   engaged in the activities. The lyceum was about uniqueness and people
   w/ disabilities / enpowerment.

   Today, we are going to the Pantry for brunch, have social studies,
   therapies, individual work, and missions. Check in w/ you later today.
   Continue to be proud of Roma, she is having a very good transition. Also,
   she loves playing the keyboard in our classroom during preferred time
   after lunch. Glad to hear Roma had visitors stop by the Cottage and
   enjoy time w/ her.

   Enjoy the day,

   CM

Bye for now. More to come soon!
