This Is The Epitome Of "Included"

My son is on two class lists. His special needs class has 5 students and his main stream class has 28 or so. He spends time with both classes each day but without seeing him in action, I really never know how included he is and whether or not the kids know who he is. For Valentines day we got a list from his main stream teacher and his name was on it but I honestly didn't know if all of the students got that list or if he was added for our smaller class. Today was the big day. He had a party in each classroom and made ice cream sundaes in one and decorated cookies in the other. He passed out all 39 (some to teachers) of his valentines and I was told he too would have a bag that he had made to receive Valentines of his own. I am ecstatic to say that he was more than included. He was treated as one of the their own BY BOTH classes!
Next to Halloween this is the most candy this boy has been given and he also got a ton of sweet cards and trinkets. Nothing feels as wonderful as knowing that your boy is being accepted and included. Hooray for Valentines Day!!
