Tuesday, March 25, 2008, 2:00 p.m. - Cheyenne's second grade special ed teacher called to tell me her news of the day. She was excited and didn't want to wait until after school. Cheyenne had just spent her first day attending math in a regular second grade classroom. She joined her peers where she completed a subtraction worksheet and only missed two. She loved it.
This is the first real step toward mainstreaming Cheyenne into a regular classroom. The plan is to transition her into a regular classroom at our neighborhood school for third grade. I'm excited and scared and happy and sad. I'm so pleased to see Cheyenne making such progress. I'm scared to see what's going to happen when she's in a room with 25-30 other kids without the focused attention she gets now. I'm happy to see her joining all the other kids, but sad to give up a class of 12 kids with a teacher and 2 aides! I guess it's all just part of the roller coaster that is motherhood as I watch her growing and progressing. Overall, this change will probably just mean a few more entries and stories to tell on my blog as she attends school next year. For now, it's just a good day with good news!

About Me
- Cheryl
- I'm a stay at home mother of two who's trying to enjoy every second I can of this grand life adventure. In addition to enjoying my family and doing good in the world I have a couple of other big goals. I'd like to go everywhere and meet everyone before I die. Ok, so neither is realistic, but as long as it's my goal, I'll get closer than if I weren't trying! This blog isn't meant to be anything more than a window on my life, but it allows me to think about ways to view my everyday experiences and a chance to share them with those I love.
