Integrated Play

Teddy's class consists of 5 other children who need the additional support that a traditional classroom, or even an integrated one, doesn't provide. Yet the intention is still to provide opportunities for Teddy and his classmates to integrate into the traditional 4K class across the hall.

Today Teddy's teacher sent a text, "Look who integrated in 4K during play today!"

He had to check out the tools.

He played with trucks.

A rare moment of Teddy sitting still.
I appreciate that Teddy's teacher sent these pictures. I am grateful Teddy has the opportunity to play with other children his age because he loves being around people. Yet I still can't deny there's a part of me that wishes it wasn't a notable thing that he played in the traditional classroom. Hopefully these kiddos come to know Teddy well enough to be excited when he joins them.
