We also went in early to address some immediate concerns, and this was the right move as our fourth grade was moved from a dysfunctional group to a group where she could be more successful in group work.Natalie PlanetSmartyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03531558038661679151noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3627857389516482044.post-48055744910032176372015-10-02T19:13:38.618-05:002015-10-02T19:13:38.618-05:00Thanks!

I think it is fantastic that you are working with your son on taking the lead! Those skills will serve him well as he gets older. I can tell you also that I know a particular middle school teacher who in her own words "melts"Christy McGuirehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07892910561332220687noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3627857389516482044.post-7393219703041630192015-10-02T10:16:59.438-05:002015-10-02T10:16:59.438-05:00Wow!
