Orange Sky October

As I was rounding the block heading home this morning on my morning walk, an inspired sky lit up the morning walk. It was a special kind of glow that occurs for only a few minutes on only a few days. It was really one of those moments that make you think that getting up for the sunrises is special. Most of my morning walk is clearly in the dark. The Starbucks on my walk has finally received an order of the proper sized "here cup" so that my cap won't be drowned in milk. Not only do I get a cap the right size and flavor, I no longer need a spoon to scrape the foam off the bottom of the cup.

Yesterday in class we were working with doctor visits. The two words were assistants and physicians. The two words today were receptionists and vitals. I pulled two kids out in my pull out session today. One of them is up for an IEP on Monday. The other I am working with has a obterator to close the cleft palate. She has good intelligibility but she is missing the formation of some basic sounds in the front of her mouth.. like S and Z.

My three kids in my last class are trying to work up a comedy routine. One kid is practicing the introduction of the major comedian. He is looking for some minor jokes for the introduction person to use to warm up the crowd.

The SH kids came streaming in with their bilingual aide today too. They seem a little more likely to talk and their understanding is improving.

Overall I had a pretty good day. and 'Wednesday is "Writing Day"
