On Friday Daniel and his parents were invited to preschool meeting. He has been selected based on his iq and high test scores to be a peer model in the early childhood special education preschool program. This means he has high quality and very affordable preschool next year. He may be places in a classroom with deaf / hearing impaired kids, kids with physical issues like breathing trouble or wheelchairs, kids who are learning English, or kids with other IEPs. He will be the leader and buddy and role model. It will be a very good diversity experience for him.
He kept telling us he wasn't excited to go because he was feeling "a little scared". We were only attending an orientation meeting. He seemed curious about the program and excited to be growing up.
He was most excited that it was just him and parents going together to the meeting. I think he felt special.
He told me, "you know this will be a really big change for our family with me on preschooling."
Oh, he was really excited About the chocolate shake I bought him afterwards! That is when the photo was taken.
