Since my last visit
1) had many issues the week of the time change. Had two visits to the principal that week.
2) took ds to the doctor. Discovered iron deficiency and are now supplementing. Dr refused med increase after discussing problem behaviors at school. Ds pulled quite a stunt and the doctor said that ds is "smart and manipulative which can't be medicated". We were talking about shuffling cards and playing go fish and the doctor suggested ds start to learn black jack and become a professional poker player because he could count cards and make a lot of money...
3) we will write 504 after the first month of first grade. Counselor believes ds needs a challenge and says he is like Shledon Cooper from Big Bang Theory. Teacher and counselor feel he is too smart for his own good.
4) AM is going great. After lunch and recess everything gets bad. Ds eats very little lunch. He is irritating certain kids until they break which he finds funny. He is doing attention seeking behaviors. When ds is at home a nap helps these behaviors, but he also eats when hungry.
5) handwriting has drastically improved with teacher offering rewards and prism lenses. I'm in shock that he can form the letters now if he is willing.
So the problem behaviors - boredom? Hunger causing issues? Very possibly overstimulation by afternoon? Any thoughts? FWIW he knows all the reading/spelling objectives for the quarter. (He was reading this quarters sight words in 1st quarter). He knows the math objectives also, but isn't ahead on the addition/subtraction that he is bored. He gets to go to another class for math where the teachers team reach to work with the kids his speed.
