It's amazing how much has changed since Miles' first days at NVLA. His first days in October were rough. We debated whether or not we were doing him a disservice transferring him out of our neighborhood school to the charter. But 8 months later, Miles is as happy as can be and has grown so much. He reads in Spanish, writes paragraphs in Spanish, and can pretty much get by with basics. It was definitely a challenge for him to adjust to a new school, new environment, not to mention learn in a language he was not familiar with but he has already shown so much perseverance and progress.
His last days of school were a bit tough when he realized that he was no longer going to have Maestra Ortiz as his teacher. He looked panicked when he learned that he would no longer have the same classmates and be in a different classroom. But with every change that Miles has undergone, he shows us how resilient he is. So I'm not worried like I was earlier this year. Guess I'm growing up too!
