Wednesday - last day






Today was our last day, and what a day it was. We were up and off by 8.30 am and we didn't stop. Lynne and Tracey in the morning, with delegates from The Home, had a visit to the local primary school that some of the children attend. Lynne said they were doing fabulous work and she came back with a new desk request for The Home. I better get the Triton out. Meanwhile Jessica and I went to The Home's warehouse storage facility and managed to find even more equipment for the Gross and Fine Motor programs. Today was pure gold!!
Lynne and Tracey then spent time with the children demonstrating lessons and completed the training while I completed the templates and special requests. I is a clever sechetary. LOL.

After lunch Tracey spent time completing the teacher's training in the Multilit and Literacy program and demonstrated the lessons with some of their boys. Lynne completed a sample IAP for one of the children and outlined plans for 8 children she and Tracey have targeted.
Jessica was with the kids all day and they responded well when she played. The last item to try today was Playdough. We have been overwhelmed with how the children were responding to the program. Some of the children with severe cerebral palsy have shown us that there is a thought process happening but the spasms are holding them back. I give them 200 out of 100 for sheer determination and guts.
We were farewelled by our new family and sent on our way knowing we have been blessed in more ways than I can count.
