Dear Kayla ...

At the end of the school year Kayla came home with a hand-made booklet from her general ed classroom. On each page there was a drawing and a sentence, or two, about Kayla, from each of her classmates. (Which was very similar to the goodbye book she received in Kindergarten when we moved from NM. These books are such great mementos of her youth!) Oh how I loved reading through the pages and seeing what each child wrote! Each page left me with a smile on my face.

Dear Kayla ... (I left the spelling as it was)

- I love walking you to class. You rock. Love -H
- Kayla you rock. I like you. Love -S
-You are sooo funny. You need more help but I act like you don't. -L (I wonder if L meant she knew Kayla could do things by herself and didn't really need her help.)
- You are sweet and kind. You are my friend. I like when you play with me. You are so cool with your pink ribing in your hair. I like when you hug me. Your friend, Love, -N

I can only wonder what things Kayla came up with to say about each of her classmates!
