This little one breaks my heart, if I am being honest.
She is beautiful and sweet and totally full of spunk! She survived a year of Kindergarten in a typical classroom with very limited help, except for her AMAZING Kindergarten teacher-love! Her teacher busted her buns to help Maggie not just survive this year but even thrive!
This little one came into Kinder knowing only a handful of her letters and sounds... and she is leaving Kinder knowing all of her letters and sounds. She can consistently read 15 sight words and she knows her numbers up to 11. She can write her name and letters. She can draw faces and tell a story with her drawing.
Even though she has done so many wonderful things this year, she will be entering First Grade next year under the umbrella of SDC (Special Day Class). She will get more therapy on her fine motor skills and academic learning. She will join the first grade class whenever is appropriate!
Congratulations my little Kinder Graduate!
!!!I am so incredibly proud of you!!!
Love,
Mommy

Thank you so much for sharing your story. I have a 6 year old daughter with undiagnosed hypotonia. Our story of her birth is almost to the "T" of Maggie's. I have yet to hear a story of anyone with similar problems and have felt completly alone. As I read your blog I feel like I am reading a story of my own life.I will continue to check back on Maggie's progress. She is beautiful.
Congratulations Maggie! Look how far you've come along. Enjoy your adventures in grade school.
My husband and I have two wonderful, beautiful children who also have hypotonia. Aria, our oldest, will be entering pre-K in the fall. She is beyond thrilled, and I am anxious about all the what if's. Right now, I don't think it has occurred to her that she has more trouble accomplishing tasks as her buddies or that not everybody has therapists. Thank-you for this and all your posts. They are a source of comfort and inspiration to me.
=) My 6 year old hypotonic son survived kindergarten this past year also; onward to 1st grade!
