Something else that is different from last school year is that Thomas has been enjoying gym class! Seriously, I can’t believe some of the notes that the teacher sends home. “Thomas is a good listener!” “Thomas loved gym class.” “Thomas played nicely with his classmate!” I must keep in mind, however, that last year started out much the same way. Everything went downhill after Winter break. Avid readers (if there are any) may remember all of the “difficult” days Thomas had last January through May. So it is with apprehension that I rejoice at the strong start to the school year. Thomas makes progress all the time and that is certainly a reason to be thankful.
