Well, the little guy that was turned away at daycare last Thurs. because of impetigo was still not back today. So much for the parents idea about getting a doctors OK and bringing him right back.
Today at work went a bit better than Friday. My co-teacher seemed a little off though for some reason. Maybe she was distracted but it seemed like she was avoiding working too hard. She went to make up the beds for 5 kids which takes less than 5 minutes while I cleaned up the last few kids at the lunch table, took 3 toddlers potty and washed hands, and changed two diapers, washing more hands, and warmed a bottle. I let her do dishes after the kids were all asleep. We had 7 asleep at one time, I love those days.
JD's counselor emailed us today about having another 504 meeting (504 being sort of like a written plan for modifying a students work where needed) Not quite a IEP or ILP. He is still really struggling in some of his classes. I don't know what they will suggest next but they tell me not to worry we have lots of options. He goes to high school next year so they want to have a strategy in place for his success. It has been so hard getting this child through the school system but I must say we have had a great deal of support from the staff.
The important thing for me is that he feels hopeful about his own future. I think it is so sad when children lose hope before they graduate. The world is so full of opportunity and some kids never realize it before they just give up. We are hangin' in with him.
Hubby's BD is tomorrow but he wont be spending it with us. He'll be at work all day then at a mens group meeting that he leads on Tues. evenings. Oh, well. I'm sure I'll find some chore to keep me busy. He'll be home in time for House but that is my Tues. mens group LOL so I can't possibly miss it, right?
