Thomas has been doing really well in that other classroom with the higher-functioning kids!  He enjoys going in there ... his teacher wrote me a note that mentioned how Thomas walked into the other classroom and said, “I’m so happy to be here!” 

 He was first there last Monday and was accompanied by the school’s child psychologist.  She wrote me a lot of good notes about how he did.  Thomas apparently played a lot at the messy table (which is filled with sand in that room) and talked with a little girl about their pets.  Thomas was able to relate a lot of their conversation back to me after he got home and he mentioned how much he enjoyed it.
