Weatherman Thomas

Thomas had a really great week this week.  Every week in his preschool, someone new has the classroom job of “Weatherman” for the whole week.  During circle time they sing a weather song and then the weather man goes over to the window, looks outside and reports the weather to the class.  Up until now, Thomas has not wanted to do this, but he has been practicing in the speech therapist’s office and in the classroom with smaller groups.  This past week it was his turn again and on Monday he got up, looked out the window and then whispered it to the assistant.  On Tuesday he whispered it to the assistant  and teacher.  The third day, he said it outloud to the class and boy was he so proud of himself when he got home.  We made a big deal of it and he was so happy!!!  The next two days he said it aloud as well!  He is such a rock star!

Also this week, he participated in gym for about 15 minutes with the aid of his teacher.  Usually he only lasts about 5 minutes before getting upset.  Great week!!
