School Time!

Last week Kajsa started school. She started school at the Jordan Child Development Center at Jordan Valley School. She is in the Early Intervention class as a peer model. She is put in a class with kids that have developmental delays, social issues, etc. There are only five kids in the class and two of them are peer models. Simon worked with the lady who is the director of the Development Center and she told him to sign up Kajsa because they always need peer models. So not only is this class supposed to help those kids with development issues, I think that Kajsa will pretty much get just as much out of it as they do. They do crafts, sing songs, and have snacks. (Sounds kind of like nursery at church!) But they also learn how to share, listen to and follow directions, and keep hands to themselves. The class is once a week for an hour and half. When I told her that she would be going to school, she got so excited. She was especially excited that she got to go to the store to pick out a backpack and she had to have a pink one! She has gone twice already and loved it! I thought that first time she would have a meltdown and not want me to leave, but she didn't! I was so proud of her! (It might have helped that I bribed her with a treat afterwards if she was happy!)

She zonked out on the way home! Her face is dirty from her ice cream cone afterwards!
