Thanks for the update JBDad...I was thinking of you guys and wondering how it is going. My DS5 is in K and has been asking why he goes to school. I had been putting off answering...side-stepping. Finally I had to give him an answer that it was to learn to be a good citizen yada yada yada trying to avoid the "you go to school to learn new things." So he says, "Parts of my day is so boring b/c it's stuff I already know. I want to learn new things at school." I tried to remind him that he learns new things at home but he insisted he wants to learn new things at school. Sigh...... our school is not big on acceleration or grouping .... it's only 4 weeks into school so there is still hope. But so far all he brings home is coloring, coloring and more coloring with a note that he needs to practice coloring at home. Well, if you look at his early work, it was very neat...the more coloring he does, the worse it gets.
i made the mistake w/ my older son of stopping ASing him in K. That only made it worse. I'm doing my best to keep up the ASing with DS5 in math, reading, science.
ANyhow, didn't mean to make this about me
When is the IEP meeting?
