3rd...

Very excited to start 3rd grade! Hunter has a wonderful teacher, and is now only needing minimal support from the Special Ed Teacher and aide. He no longer needs OT & PT, only on a consult basis and his time in the Gen Ed classroom is increased to 95%! An amazing thing happened in the middle of his 3rd grade year, there was a note that came home for the talent show. Hunter like I have said, always loved to sing, but he had never done it by himself, in front of anyone let alone his entire school. Hunter on his own decided to do a song from High School Musical, called "You are the Music in Me" which was a duet, but Hunter came up with his own solo version. I can't even begin to tell you how overwhelmed with happiness I was when I saw him up there for the first time on stage, all by himself, and so comfortable, like he had being doing this his entire life. He entertained the entire school, all of his teachers from Early Childhood, Special Ed and all of his General Ed teachers were watching him. All of the office staff, Principals & Specialists were watching him. There were many tears from many people that day. It is one of those days you don't ever forget! It was the start of Hunter wanting to become an entertainer! :)
