4th Grade

So how is school going this year?  Great.  Deiana has a "strict" teacher this year and she looooves her!  Her teacher told me she "adores" Deiana so it is a perfect match.  She is learning more than she ever has and comes home with tons of papers completed in class.  Her teacher got her extra reading help right off the bat, something no one else has bothered to do.  Reading is her weakest area due to her language delay and honestly, lack of interest.  She has greatly improved in this area and is now at grade level.  Her teacher is fighting to retain the extra assistance to continue her progress.
If only speech therapy could be as productive.  I do believe she has never had any benefit from the school speech therapy services. 
She loves school (probably for social reasons) and is in her fourth year of perfect attendance, even with surgeries, doctor, dentist, and orthodontic appointments!
