Thanks, again. He did have a decent day (without coloring, but with writing). I spoke to him more -- and he told me he does not see the point of doing the booklets about "insert any topic, whether science or social studies ", because he says he can always read a book which has better pictures on it. Yet, he says he does it because he does not want to get into trouble (not realizing that he is in trouble for not finishing (therefore missing out on playtime)).
It didn't matter to the teacher that my son had a mild disability that affected endurance. His hands hurt after writing or coloring for more than five minutes. My husband and I told the teacher that we didn't care if he colored in the lines since we didn't feel it was a necessary skill. We didn't know at that time that he also had vision issues that affected fine motor skills.
If you don't mind sharing, what was the disability ?
I had him do some worksheets today, just to strengthen his hand muscles. He did them okay, but kept placing the pencil/crayon/marker down after every couple of minutes (like it was too much to hold them till the worksheet was completed). I feel bad for him, because his written output is so out of line with verbal output (well, other than math).
