Ms. Lori

Update:  If you would like to know more about Ivey's League click on the highlighted "Ivey's League" in the post - or about preschool - just click on them.  Amazing people are all around US!!

This year has been a great year in preschool. Ivey actually goes to two preschools,which most of you probably already know. She goes to a county school and is in a special education classroom two days a week. Then two other days she still attends the same preschool that the boys went to, just regular kids. Both schools are perfect fits for Ivey and in many more ways, Ivey is a perfect fit for them. In the 'regular' pre-k class, she gets interaction with others her age. She can hear what typical three and four year olds do, the sounds they make, the games they play.... There she is just Ivey -

I don't stay at pre-k with Ivey this year. I rely on Ivey's League, her teachers and on occassion other parents to tell me about the wonderful things going on in the classroom. But, the kids always tell the true story.

This is Mrs. Lori. She is incredible and part of Ivey's League. Ivey looooves her. I think Ivey is so drawn to Lori because she picks Ivey up, gets loud and has never been intimidated by any of her 'stuff'. (Except maybe the eyes.) Lori took all of these pictures, which sums up just how happy Ivey is when Lori is around.

Thank you Lori, don't know what I would do without you. All of Ivey's League has provided so many opportunities for Ivey and in return that opens doors for all special needs - beyond Ivey. In one word - we are all advocates. You all are teaching not only Ivey, but these 'regular' kids lessons that school might not teach otherwise.
