Emily

...and that makes a full 12. Emily spent the first 2 days in complete silence. On day three, she spoke her first word to me: "bathroom". Day 4 was silent again and then today she raised her hand to come up in front of the class to answer a question. Go figure. The whole time she has sat very quietly and not interacted with her classmates at all really, but I can see her starting to smile. She is getting more comfortable and I have a slight feeling that she is going to open up into a big trouble maker. Let's hope not. Her worksheets look excellent though.

As long as she dosen't turn Damian on me, I'm really hoping that I keep these same 12 kids for the next six months. It's just easier that way.
