What an emotional day for our family. Starting this school year we just wanted the best for Kamiree and to get her caught up in ASL. She knew a few signs, but enough to make full ASL sentences. I believe she knew 10% of the signs they tested her on in August 2012. She was behind in a lot of ways and we knew that she would take kindergarten again. We had talked to the teacher and it was obvious she was at least 2 years to 1 year behind in all subject areas because no one knew how to teach her the way she would understand. Today we went to her kindergarten graduation! I can't tell you the number of tears that came out of my eyes with admiration for our daughter. She has worked so hard to catch up and is doing things no one (including me) knew she was capable of.
She is still behind in reading, but only 6 months behind now and was 2 years. That was the biggest catch up for her, and I believe she will continue to get to her goal.
A class of 3 girls! With all this one one one time I can't help but think that is what is making her blossom so much! They were in a classroom with the 1st graders and Pre-K, so 1 teacher and 2 aides, you cannot beat that!
The director giving Kamiree her certificate of completion. So proud of this girl!!!
Her Biggest fan club! We will continue to do what we need to do for her as a family!
Thank you for all your support this year!
