Firsts

My boys had a FANTASTIC week this week :)  I have implemented "Recess Passes" for hard work and good behavior in their Gen Ed classes and they have earned it EVERY DAY!  Today, as a reward for such a fantastic week, I took them outside for their first EVER lesson in flying kites (good thing my parapro knows what he's doing, because it was MY first lesson, as well!) and it was the perfect experience!  They were all PROS! It was freezing, the wind was fierce, there was sunshine AND snow, but we stayed out three times as long as we should have because we just couldn't reel in those kites :)  Today I was Specially Educated because I have never had such a fantastic "first" experience!  Buying those kites was one of the best purchases I have ever made. Possibly the highlight of my teaching career as of yet ;)

 Kite Bliss :)

 He was afraid it was going to touch the sun O:)

 I think this one should be on a postcard!

The whole time he was just squealing and laughing :) Precious!
