Today's report from school.

IsItFridayYet?
Not perfect, but handled.

Had two issues today. In one, he was doing math on the white board. Mr Teacher/Para erased the board, thinking Wee was finished, when in fact, Wee wasn't finished. Wee threw a pillow at him and called him a punk. Mr Teacher/Para dove into the issue, tho, and discovered Wee wasn't done, so he apologized to Wee for erasing the board.

The other issue was at recess. Some kids were making fun of him, so he holed up under the jungle gym and didn't hear the whistle to come in so was late lining up. He also then asked to not go to the mainstream room. Mr Teacher/Para and SpEd Teacher both praised him for that choice, for getting under the jungle gym, and for asking to come to the sped room, and even for being a bit late coming in instead of being angry.

My hope isn't up yet, but this sounded like a decent day.

I like the apology. Our kids don't always deserve apologies, but on the other hand, if it defused the situation, in this case it's correct!

Also - Wee did good with the jungle gym/coming in late. Hugs to him!!!

Fingers crossed, Shari. This guy sounds good. As long as any issues are handled by him and principal stays out of it, things have hope.

The next time you are accused of being uncooperative, remind them that you could have gone DP long ago and have chosen to give them every chance.
