Yes, I know. Again
I know I've discussed the curriculum, but I can't remember if I've discussed everything here.
I love Daphne's regular teacher. She's really nice and it's not really her fault that the 3rd grade curriculum at this school totally sucks. But Mrs S is on maternity leave right now, so Daphne has a substitute. From the beginning of January to the end of March, we are stuck with Ms. G.
A few weeks ago, when I picked Daphne up from...

Dh and I have been feeling that maybe Jeran's allergies had changed, lately. He had never been allergic to watermelon before, but this summer, he had a horribly itchy mouth and lips after eating watermelon. Obviously this has changed.
I decided to give Jeran chicken nuggets that had wheat, corn, and milk in them. (I know, stupid. I couldn't even choose something that had just one thing) I even gave them to him 2 nights in a row. Well, he is obviously still reacting, behaviorally,...

Daphne went to a birthday party for one of her gymnastics teammates this weekend. She doesn't know any of these girls outside of gymnastics, but she wanted to go, as they are friends during class. It was a slumber party, but I didn't feel that I knew the family well enough to just let her stay the night. There aren't many places I would let any of my kids stay the night, I'm just kinda picky that way, I guess. So, Daphne just stayed until 9:30.
when I went to pick her up, the girls...

I posted this on another board. It's late, and I'm too tired to be original. LOL Tjhis is about Jeran.
My middle child is 5.5 year old ds, and he has a sensory processing disorder. he is a seeker, he has very poor impulse control, social boundaries are a bit of a blur to him, and he has no fear. (Are you scared yet?)
He has been "worse" than usual lately. Earlier in the week, he went out front to play, with my permission, with the neighbor....

and somewhat PMSing, too.
Jeran had his OT again today. He goes every other Wednesday for his Sensory Processing Disorder. I haven't really learned anything from his OT sessions. I think it's kinda hard for the OT to get a good feel for Jeran and his issues, since we only go every other week. What I've been hoping to get out of OT is some ways to help Jeran learn to cope with his SPD. His biggest issue, by far, is his poor impulse control.
So today, I was telling his...

Jeran's big IEP meeting was last Friday. Everyone was nice, but it went about as well as I expecting. The school district doesn't recognize Sensory Processing Disorder, so no assistance for that will be given.
They let me talk for the first few minutes, and then chimed in. Mostly they just kept saying that they needed to do more testing. They didn't accept the OT evaluation from the hospital OT, and need to test Jeran themselves. They never asked me for a list of what accomodations...

*gulp*
On Friday, when I took Jeran in for speech, they gave me the invite list, that shows everyone that is scheduled to be at the new IEP meeting I got. Instead of four people, like last time, there are EIGHT people, besides me, listed as attending. Last year, the LEA rep was the principal, and she was listed on the invite for the previous meeting, too. I'm not sure exactly what LEA stands for, but my impression is it's someone who oversees all the programs, instead of just speech,...

Anyway, I have been trying to get Jeran's IEP hammered out for school, for kindergarten. You probably remember that I plan to homeschool him. But, he is already in the school system, because he's been taking speech there. I decided that I should at least TRY to give the school a chance, and see if they could meet the needs of Jeran. After all, if they step up and take his issues seriously, is it really fair to Jeran to just "skip it"?
It has not gone well so far. His original...

I was working with Jeran this afternoon, on a worksheet. "count and color the bats". He was a little messy, and I encouraged him to stay within the lines, as I know the ability to color within the lines is helpful with writing letters later. He said that if he didn't, I would "play basketball" with his paper. I asked him what he meant. He said that at preschool, if you didn't stay within the lines, the teacher got to "play basketball" with your picture, and you had...

Alright, I know I posted recently about some of Jeran's issues at preschool. I've been thinking, and remembering all the little things, and it's really just starting to piss me off. (sorry for being vulgar). Please forgive me for repeating some of my previous post.
Daphne went to the preschool Jeran is at now. She did wonderful there. The teachers told me, the first week, "I wish every child was as well-behaved as Daphne." She totally thrived there.
Well,...
