,

I just looked at everything you and Gabi used for the presentation. I must say I am very impressed. I love how you presented it all to the kids.

Hi all,We finally got a scanner so I scanned in the brace presentation we gave to Gabi's first grade class. They were wanting to touch it while it was on her which included lifting up her shirt and grabbing the velcro straps to make the velcro noise. (kids love that noise) Gail, Connie, and Carmell encouraged me to do the presentation and it went really well. I asked the teacher if I could do it and she thought it was a good idea. It was very hard as I am a quiet person and it was hard to trust that the kids were not going to tease her or anything. I started off the presentation by saying that Gabi was trusting them not to laugh at her and that whenever someone looks serious, you should also be serious. They were great and it really worked! They payed attention and asked questions and then they were done with it. I wish we would have done it right away...The drawings were done by Gabi and her sisters. I cannot draw at all. I got the idea for the

stickers on the paper brace from a scoli site. Anyway, in case it would be helpful. It is there.

Thanks! No doubt this will help others. I would do a scoli pres. every

year at Livs school, until she hit 10. It was at this age, I was no

longer allowed (per Livs request)...
