Portia,

I know DS used to draw (which he loves to do a lot) after he's done with his regular class work, because he had so much free time. So I am wondering if your comment it's true that he thinks that by doing the math packet, his free time has been taken away....

I will have more information from the conference today. If that seems to be the reason that he sees it as punishment, I may suggest that just having my DS do the math packet he's got from the math specialist instead of doing both work.

Thank you!
