Emily

Emily was struggling with all the changes they were having in their classroom this past school year. The teacher she loved went on sick leave and they had a few different substitutes in. For a kid who doesn't like change it was very hard on her. The last sub was there for a month and Emily had finally gotten used to her and they found a full time teacher to take over. More stress. I talked to the new teacher and it turned out she majored in art, and she told me some of the art projects that she had planned. Once I told Emily about them she relaxed a bit and it wasn't a fight to get her to go to school. Her teacher made an extra effort with Emily, to help her settle into the new routine and it paid off  with Emily opening up to her. This teacher focused alot on hands on learning and that is Emily's learning style, so Emily is very excited about science now too.

They had a rock hound come in and talk to the kids about rocks, of course. Then they made dioramas. Art and science in one, Emily was in heaven.
