Will be excited to hear how it goes.... really, to deny FAPE wow.... so sad.
Yeah, and when I threw those little letters out, and LRE, their ears perked up and I could see the look on their faces. The looks said: Uh oh.
He did GREAT at school. He marched in and said "Grandma! I had SUPER day!" He was so proud of himself; his sweetness breaks my heart. He was kind of putzy later in the afternoon, but hey, he's five. I could tell the medications were wearing off because he actually ate is dinner. I have to say, the lack of appetite really concerns me. He gets a good breakfast, and Daddy puts him to bed at night, so he makes sure he's had a nutritious snack before bed. We worry that he'll be hungry in the middle of the night and that it might affect his sleep. With all of the colds he's had since school started, he's having trouble sleeping anyway.
The other kids in his class are staying from 8:30-2:40 two days a week, and until 1:10 the other days. I think that's an awfully long day for a five-year old, so we're not pushing for the long days until after January. And the kids are supposed to bring their lunches and eat in the cafeteria with the bigger kids. Ummm. As Lord of the Flies as the playground is, I don't even want to think about what could happen in the cafeteria...
He's pretty emotional (crocodile tears, which is new since the medication) and rigid over the dumbest things (like which car door to use when I was trying to get him and his sister out of the car to go to the movies yesterday) but if I don't rush him, he'll talk himself through the problem--"Maybe I can use that door when we come back to the car." Then he forgot, of course; his head was full of Muppet Movie songs. We have Wonder Woman Aide until tomorrow for sure, don't know after that.
He got his progress report today and he got "needs improvement" on every area of behavior except and "excellent" on complete homework." Huh? Whatever. Academically, he's top of his class, even though he's hardly ever there. So weird.
So, we had a couple of rocky transitions this afternoon, a flipped over plate of food, and a purposely dropped iPad, so he ain't "cured" yet, whatever that means
