first day of school

Photobucket
Fisher started his first day of school yesterday. This time it was a little more surreal to me. It feels more like he is starting kindergarten then preschool. For one, he goes five days a week all day long, we have to pick out his school lunch everyday, he rides a school bus to school and his classroom is even in an elementary school, right next to the kindergarten classes.

But we are so excited for this new program for Fisher. We met with his teachers and his aids and we all felt like this was a great fit for Fisher. He has already made so much progress from last year that I know he can only continue to grow and develop. We are excited for his classroom, he is the sixth student and of those six he is the third with autism. The other three are neo-typical peers that will help Fisher socialize and communicate.

From the report we got from Ms. Brenda yesterday, it sounds like Fisher is already enjoying school. He knows his colors and letters and numbers and animals. We are so proud of him and I just know that this will be a great school year for him!
