When I went to Mrs. Mullins class on Friday October 12, I was intending to stay until lunch. When I got there, she put me with the same kids she has me work with every week. It seems I have what would be considered the "slower" kids, though one child is not slow. He is very smart, and sweet, but he has a really bad speech impediment, and it is very hard to understand him. I think that is why is is grouped that way. He really struggles with reading, especially when we are looking for constant blend sounds, because he cannot really hear them, because of his speech impediment. He is in speech therapy. It just shows you how teachers make judgements about kids before they really know them. I had to leave early, because my son did not feel well, so my visit was cut short.
