I want to be seen & heard... when I am confident in what I am talking about!

This week was Thomas's turn to take home the number jar.  This involves finding a certain amount of things from home, (his number was 8) and bringing them back to school in the number jar.  The person then stands in front of the room and counts out his number of things as he takes them out and talks about them.  He was so excited to do this.  The teacher said that while he didn’t want to count the 8 things outloud, he was “chatting away” about the 8 things he brought!  When he is prepared for what he is going to say he will talk a lot.   We practice show-n-tell the night before and in the morning to build his confidence.  The teacher also gives me the questions she will ask ahead of time so he can practice his answers.  

He is also still raising his hand well and according to the teacher is often standing up while raising his hand to get picked J 

We are on week three of therapeutic listening.
