Volunteering

I am going to volunteer in Anna's classroom every-other-Thursday. Partly to help with Anna's selective mutism (the idea is if that she'll talk to me, she'll get used to talking in her classroom, and then hopefully start talking to the teacher or one of the kids). Anna was so thrilled to see me and talked in a regular speaking voice to me (last year at OIS she would only maybe whisper but not ever speak to me at school—even outside on the playground—so this is a major improvement.). So I checked in with her a few times but also did some work for her teacher which was kind of fun for some variety in my life. One other thing I'm planning to do is join her for lunch one day per week but I have to wait until Henry is done with his morning nap altogether because it conflicts with her lunch-time right now.
