Today was Rhea's teacher Ms Rashida's last day. She was the one that helped Rhea get used to her new class and the routine. She would always be with Ms Rashida. When we drop her off in the morning she would run to her all smiles. Ms Rashida was so good with Rhea...always had a sunny disposition. She was the one who agreed with us when I asked her if Rhea could start potty training. She is doing her teaching course and now has to do her observations and cannot do it with Winwood. She will have to do it with a Loudoun County Public School. I was so bummed last week when she said that she is leaving. The good part is that Rhea is very comfortable in her class and the teachers themselves are surprised at how much she has warmed up after the first week. She is very happy there and as soon as we drop her off she has this routine where she wants to push you out the class. Thats how she says good bye to her :) I do always spend a couple of minutes peeking through the glass doors after i drop her off and i can see her walking around and saying Hi to some of her friends. Of course she really does not still get the concept of 'Friend' because if you ask her the anme of her friends she will give you a big wry smile and say 'friends?' But since i've seen her interact with other kids...I'm not concerned.
So yesterday we gave Ms Rashida a thank you card and a visa gift card as a token of appreciation. Adn today when i dropped Rhea off, we took a picture with Ms Rashida. Rhea of course did not understand why we were taking pictures and was not in a mood for cheesy grins...but we got a pretty good picture...
So Thank You Ms Rashida for all you did for Rhea and us in the last 2 months!! Good Bye and Good Luck! Hope our paths meet again (she might teach in Liberty elementary..thats where Sean will go for first grade)!
