the All About Me packet is an awesome idea...i put one together every year for molly. The other thing i do.....is make a letter and send it to school, to disperse to molly's classmates on that first day of paperwork.
We explain in kid language about down syndrome, and about Molly...her good points, and her bad points. We write things about her that the kids need to know...and give information to the parents.
Last year...i had parents i didn't know approach and thank me for the letter...MANY MANY TIMES!
they WANT to know...they are EMBARRASSED to ask!
and with each thank you...i got a question, cuz that is the last statement on the page...
just how much we love molly...and how they need to be comfortable in coming and asking us if they have any questions at all...I could talk all day about her!
just a thought....works well for us
Molly will be in the 2nd grade, they put her
and BOBERT!! in the same class (her boyfriend)
her teacher loves our kids...AND (this is the hard part)
went to school with SHAUNA!! EEK!! ...so we know each
other REALLY WELL!
and WE CAN'T WAIT FOR SCHOOL TO START!!
