Julia's Valentine's Party

I went to the Valentine's Party in Julia's class. They ate goodies and then sat on the carpet to get their bags filled with Valentine's from their classmates. It's interesting to observe Julia in her classroom. She is so reserved and quiet-so different from her behavior at home. She listens to the teachers and follows every direction. When the kids picked up their Valentine's bags, they were excitedly opening them, pulling out Valentine's, showing them to their teacher, and loudly talking to one another. Julia peeked into her bag and  pulled out one Valentine, looked at it, and gently placed it back into the bag. It took encouragement from me to look at the rest of them. Hopefully with more time, she will blossom at school the way she has at home.
