Nuestra hija, la lider

We spent much of this past week preparing for Abby's annual IEP meeting. This involves reflecting on her current social and academic performance levels and figuring out how to move her ahead in both those areas. It's a big job, and sometimes it can be a bit of a downer, thinking about all the ways in which Abby will need special help in order to be successful.

We had a welcome boost this week, however. Abby came home on Wednesday with a leadership award from her school for her work in Spanish class. Her Spanish teacher cited her for her vocabulary proficiency, and wrote on the certificate that she "leads by example."

Here's the happy linguist with her award. We're all very proud of her.
