It’s Getting Crowded In Here at They Might Be Curly Giants!

Two new students and a teacher joined Ajab’s class this week, bringing a total of six kids and three teachers. How’s that for a good student-teacher ratio? That’s not including the 6-8 caregivers/parents who accompany the kids!

In order to make the classroom, roomier, they rearranged some of the furniture. It’s just as cramped as before.

The new kids naturally need some time to adjust to their new surroundings and the more ’senior’ kids like Ajab also have to get used to their new friends, one of whom has a more severe form of autism. He has a habit of swinging his arms in the air and mumbling incomprehensible noises from time to time.

All these changes, including a change in some of the classroom activity schedules is kind of distracting to Ajab and he only took a couple of bites out of his cake during snack time. Adjustments to his behaviour might be needed. Let’s hope everyone can settle down soon.
