Peyton Anslem

Five-year old Peyton began kindergarten this fall at Berwick Elementary where he is mainstreamed in a regular education classroom with 19 students. Peyton can recite the alphabet, counts to twelve, knows his colors and shapes and can even spell his first name. A para-professional assists him with his writing and reading, but for the most part, he is independent. Way to go, Peyton! We are proud of you !
