Here is poem Kayla's teacher did with them at school. Kayla filled in the blanks.

I AM

I am..."Kayla"
I wonder..."about books"
I want..."a spider web halloween decoration"
I am..."Kayla"

I pretend..."to be a ghost in the house"
I feel..."water in my tummy"
I worry..."about Alysa putting her foot in the car"
I cry..."about getting boo boos"
I am..."Kayla"

I like the color..."blue"
I dream..."about Storybook Land"
I try..."to dance"
I hope..."for me and Alysa to be best friends"
I am..."Kayla"

Last year Kayla would not get up and dance with her classmates. This year she is and that is a big step for her so I smiled to see her say she tries to dance. And the part about Alysa being her best friend just melts my heart.

And here we have a note Kayla received in the mail today from her cousin. She was very excited about it.
