By George, I think she's got it!
WOOHOO!!!! L finally got the idea with her ape picture! I was beginning to wonder if I would need to call in reinforcements - AKA Daddy  A little background on L - she was abandoned around age 3 (birthdate\age is a guess) and lived in an orphanage in China until we brought her home at 5 1\2. She is profoundly deaf and didn't have a formal language until we got her. She received a cochlear implant in March so is 4-5 months old hearing age. The problem?? She is so used to just smiling at someone to do or have anything that she isn't used to actually "working". She would scribble all over a picture and get a "good job". The first few days of school have been a .......ummmmm...... little tense Once she realized that she needed to actually take her time and do it right, she's done great. We worked on learning to write the number 2, making an apple tree (cutting, pasting, letter A) and the first day of Creation today. It probably sounds like I was harder on her than I actually was, but she is very behind in her skills and needs to try and catch up. She has 6 years to make up. If anyone has suggestions or recommendations, I'd love to hear them  |
