After seven months of constant fights with the school, we've finally made significant progress. During the half the day or so when he is sitting there drawing pictures of Star Wars characters while he waits for everyone else to finish assignments, his teacher is going to get him started on a research project on a subject of his choosing. He wants to do something about cave men, but we'll see how it goes. Secondly, since math is the big thing that has sent him home in tears several times (he LOVES math - but has been upset because the math in his class consists of counting dots and finding patterns), he will be visiting a second grade class for math. He came home today with a fractions worksheet - which is something we have touched on, but not much - and actually excited to do his homework and show his "new" teacher that he can do it. I had forgotten how nice it is to have your child come home excited about school.
