Our district has begun using a new intervention program for lower level readers and I was asked to talk about it briefly at a school board meeting in November. Elliot was on shift, so Emma had the pleasure of coming with me! My classroom is just off the library, so I took magnets & games off the bookshelf, paper and crayons out of the drawers and let her play in my classroom. She was a perfect angel while we were preparing for the meeting-only came out once to tell me that she put her name on the board---she had picked out her letters and put them up there. :) She was great until she heard my voice coming from the room next door when it was my turn to present...nevertheless, she came out and clung to my leg. About a minute or so in---and a beat red face on mommy, she exclaimed "I need to go potty!" Thank goodness nearly everyone else in the room had a 3 year old in their life at some given time and it got a chuckle out of everyone.
