P.T.C. Time!

Last night we had Parent Teacher Conferences (P.T.C.) - yeah!

Up first - Little C! We were lucky that in our meeting was the Behavioral instructor, his Teacher and the Principal.
For the past 3 weeks he has been causing some chaos so we were forced to change his daily routine at school. Well, actually - we forced the school to make the changes.
He had an incident where after recess, he decided he didn't want to go inside, so he took off running and left the school grounds. The Teachers aide that was watching over him at recess could not catch him, so it took a parent that was driving by to stop and bring him back inside.
We of course had a big issue with this and raised heck with the principal about his safety.

The school immediately changed some things around and has C spending his entire day with the Special Ed Instructor. C LOVES this teacher and was great with the switch up. So now he is spending his entire day in a contained classroom setting where there are 3 teachers/ aides and maybe 4 kids.
Next week they are going to start bringing C back into the classroom 15 min at a time. First he will return for story time. Then the following week after that he will join them for Science.
The basic report back from the school is that this has been working really well and there have been no safety issues. The principal has even taken C outside on occasion and she will sit on the bench at the playground. She lets him play for 10 minutes to work out some of his energy, then they return back to do work.

Daddy and I have noticed a 50% improvement on not only his behavior but his overall outlook at home too. I am happy with the solutions so far, so we'll see.

Next up - A!
Talk about the golden child. Her teacher Loves her and when she spoke all I could hear was Perfect, perfect, perfect! ok, maybe not like that, but it is such a nice change to sit with a teacher and hear so many compliments. A is right on track and meets all requirements for first quarter. She is such a people pleaser that I am not surprised.

So now we have 4 days off before returning to school again and while we have nothing special planned, the weather has decided to play nice. The kids are able to play outside and they are happy to help me move things around inside.

3 days, 18 hours left till school resumes.......
