Guest Posted February 6, 2007 Posted February 6, 2007 hope you don't mind me sharing this but it was exciting for me and the class and made the moundfuls of paper work I was given yesterday in our School improvement team seem less painful but a child who is a selective mute in my class spoke to me in a big voice for the very first time today!! just before this several children had come up to me and said he had spoken to them in a big voice and they were delighted to tell me he could speak!! They were so pleased it was great to see the look on their faces. Then he came and asked for a drink - hooray It was fab I just had to tell someone!
Guest Posted February 6, 2007 Posted February 6, 2007 Of course we don't mind you sharing what is a great milestone for you all to witness. As Susan says, long may it continue. Peggy
Andreamay Posted February 6, 2007 Posted February 6, 2007 I know just how you feel!We have a child with sel.mute who spoke to us last week and hasnt stopped since!Even all the way thru storytime!!!Its lovely to hear her voice and all the staff keep grinning at each other
Guest Really Posted February 6, 2007 Posted February 6, 2007 Same here, we have a little boy with voice dyspraxia who also chose not to speak until about 2 weeks ago. I had to tell him to be quiet the other day, I told his mum who phoned every relative going to tell them that his teacher had told him to be quiet. So, know how you feel, enjoy!!
Beau Posted February 7, 2007 Posted February 7, 2007 Thats brilliant - thanks for sharing. Those sorts of things are what makes our jobs worthwhile.
Guest Posted February 7, 2007 Posted February 7, 2007 That's brilliant news - I don't blame you for wanting to tell everyone!!
Guest MaryEMac Posted February 7, 2007 Posted February 7, 2007 That's great news. We had a little girl who wouldn't speak last year but once she started she wouldn't stop. Her mum was thrilled when I wrote in her comment book that she had been very noisy. Hope it continues. Mary
