What a schedule, right? So this is proof positive that for FIVE days out of the week Jenna is run RAGGED at school, with plenty of stimulation and activity! I love that the teacher is promoting life skills throughout the day.
The teacher is very nice - she actually WRITES OUT notes home, doesn't just circle activities on a pre-designed page. YAY for good ol' fashioned communication. :)
And they helped Jenna make this Gingerbread House:
Back door:
Jenna made out on the Christmas/Birthday take home loot this year. First, the bus drivers from her old school gave her a doll, Christmas hello kitty pillow and some yummy treats and bracelets. Then, the bus drivers at her new school gave her more gifts - yummy treats. Then, a sub bus driver sent something more home - coloring stuff and treats. Then, we get a whole bunch of stuff today. I got teary-eyed cuz they really seemed to go all out for these kids.
All the goodies!
And Hannah in her PJ Party outfit - although she seemed a bit confused when I woke her up only to put her in another pair of jammies. :)
Loungin' :)

And Hannah did some artwork at school too:
And I had to include a pic of Cohen - although he's having a bad hair day :)
Well, my cousin is here for the night with his two kids, so I'm gonna go keep them company. And stop being rude. :)
