Firefighter Kamryn



















I will have to say I've been very impressed with Kamryn's new school. We just recently had conferences and both her teacher and speech teacher say she is doing well. Her teacher called her "my little social butterfly" in class. Ugh-0, I hope she won't be too vocal in class in the future and get in much trouble! Her speech teacher said that Kamryn is a good helper to her friends and teachers. Her speech teacher Miss Laura just looked at me and with all sincerity said, "you are so lucky to have her." That comment brought tears to my eyes (because she gets it!) and I absolutely agreed with her.

The school has this online curriculum network and this is what I found there today which was input by her teacher. Pretty neat!

Learning about Fire Fighters
We learned many things about Fire Fighters throughout the week and then were able to pretend we were Fire Fighters. Kamryn pretended to be a Fire Fighter that makes food for everyone!!

This journal entry is related to these objective(s):

26. Applies knowledge or experience to a new context
35. Takes on pretend roles and situations
36. Makes believe with objects
37. Makes and interprets representations
39. Expresses self using words and expanded sentences (SO GLAD TO SEE THIS!)

We've totally noticed an improvement in her speech lately. She is using more new words and is talking in longer sentences. Yea Kamryn!

Hi Guys,

Kamryn is doing so well! Can't wait to see her again. Tell her that her grandpa and great-grandpa would be happy to see her in her Firefighter gear! Love to everyone,

Julie- you must be so very proud of your sweet girl. I know that you were a bit reluctant to change her program- but you took a chance and you both seem to be so happy with it! Good for Kami! She is doing great.

And just look at her- may be the cutest lil firefighter ever.

She looks so darling, but I don't think Grandpa would like Kamryn to follow in his footsteps. Too dangerous for our little sweetheart. How about a dance, tea party planner,advertising or pharmaceutical rep career instead?
