[A-ZTeacher]

Thank you both so much for your response and suggestions. I had her read a reader's theater in front of the class and she loved it! She completely came out of her shell. It actually confuses me a bit more though because she seems to only really actively engage when she is doing something "special" or different from the class. It is a little hard to continue to develop special things for just that student. I have been understanding and patient but it is starting to wear on me. She is very demanding of my attention and it is difficult to balance with so many young kiddos that also need my support. I got a new student this week who is very young and it is hard to balance both of these clingy kiddos with 25 other kids!
