some school stuff
|
Well, I think school is going well. We met for our annual IEP meeting. Basically the team of teachers and therapists that Noah works with on a regular basis sit down and we discuss goals and things we can do to help him in any way needed. I am super impressed by the principal. She is a trained reading recovery teacher and really knows her stuff. I feel we have a really super team and I am confident that with some further evaluation, they will really get the ball rolling and I pray we start seeing results. We know that Noah is behind . What we will try to find is- Is the problem cognitive, or is it the language barrier? Is it a learning disability? What sort? These are all things they are looking at through Reading Recovery. I want to be clear that we don't want to label him in any way. We need to know how to approach this in the correct way. He is doing okay. The teacher has to modify spelling tests for him. There are a lot of things that he just simply cannot do. The week goes by and he enjoys it for the most part. But as the weekend gets here, he is all out of whack and we have had some tough weekends the past 2. Monday mornings he doesn't want to go to school. This morning I got a call that he said he wasn't feeling well. He did not have a temp. I did not go pick him up. I think he just wanted to be home. I wanted to but I knew that if I do it this time, he'll want to do it again. I can't let that start up. It was hard. Ellie is doing really well and loves it! She loves going, loves the work, all of it. It is hard for me to let go of some control. I know that if things get bad, we'll pull him out. We are just praying that God uses this and uses Noah in some way. |
