This last month, one of the ladies that works in my classroom had carpel tunnel surgery. So Joann subbed for her for the month. Joann used to work in the Special Ed classrooms for a number of years before she "retired" to be a sub.
She does actually take long trips & such, so it's nice that she can choose when to be available or not. Everyone at Connor's current school, and everyone in the Special Ed rooms for the Services District love to have her sub for them. She's pretty dang busy!
She met Connor when he was 3 or so in Early Intervention. He wasn't talking much, but everyone liked him because he's always so HAPPY. When Joann subbed at Connor's school last year, she covered for Connor's one-on-one assistant. He was speaking better by 1st grade. The teachers were trying to figure out what Connor should call her. Should it be Miss Joann? Her married name? As they waffled around with this, Connor took her hand and said, "C'mon White." So he chose an attribute he could remember and went with that.
She loves him and gets the biggest kick out of working with him. As a mom, that makes me really happy to know the people working with my little boy really do want him to be successful and they really care about him.
Thanks Joann!
